At the Battle of Jutland in May 1916 the British were victorious over the Germans but at a high cost in ships and men. This book goes beyond describing the battle to focus on what the author calls a fault-line between two incompatible styles of tactical leadership within the Royal Navy, illustrated by the failure of Admirals Beatty and Evan-Thomas to act in unison.
