Description:On 31 May 1916 the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet met in battle for the first and last time. In this encounter off the coast of Jutland, was the test of years of planning by Fisher, Churchill, and others, and of the training by Jellicoe of the Grand Fleet which he had commanded since August 1914. Professor Marder examines the Grand Fleet Battle Orders in force at the time and considers Jellicoe's and Beatty's tactical plans; he vividly describes the battle cruiser action and the main action which followed it, the German retreat, and their escape during the night, assesses the effects of these events on public opinion and official thinking and evaluates the results of this historic and controversial battle. The final chapters deal with the remaining months of 1916, in which the results of Jutland took effect in various ways, and refer to the submarine threat, which was becoming increasing serious.This volume contains 16 folding charts; this large number is due to the fact that 14 charts (Nos. 2-15) are devoted to a detailed record of the movements of both sides at the Battle of Jutland, from 2:45 p.m. on 31 May to 6:00 a.m.on 1 June. Prepared on the basis of both the British and German official histories, and collating the two with all available information, these form a definitive charting of the battle which will probably never be superseded.One further volume will complete the work down to 1919.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
