About this audiobook
More than a century later, historians still argue about this controversial and misunderstood World War I naval battle off the coast of Denmark. It was the twentieth century's first engagement of dreadnoughts-and while it left Britain in control of the North Sea, both sides claimed victory and decades of disputes followed, revolving around senior commanders Admiral Sir John Jellicoe and Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty.
This book not only retells the story of the battle from both a British and German perspective based on the latest research, but also helps clarify the context of Germany's inevitable naval clash and the aftermath after the smoke had cleared.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the best books on Jutland. Nick Jellicoe is John Jellicoe’s grandson, but he gives the battle a very unbiased analysis. It’s thorough and feels complete. The Battle of Jutland was the epitome of unmitigated disaster and mistakes, both accidental and unfortunate. And like the title says, it will forever be unfinished. Unfortunately Jellicoe took the blunt of the blame, but this sets the record straight. Fantastic read.
