The Rules of the Game: Jutland and British Naval Command

This book is the winner of the Longman`s History Today Book of the Year Award and the inaugural Westminster Medal for Military Literature. More than a century had gone by since the Battle of Trafalgar. Generation after generation of British naval captains had been dreaming ever since of a `new` Trafalgar – a cataclysmic encounter which would decisively change a war`s outcome. At last, in the summer of 1916, they thought their moment had come…Andrew Gordon`s extraordinary, gripping book brilliantly recreates the atmosphere of the British navy in the years leading up to Jutland and gives a superb account of the battle itself and its bitterly acrimonious aftermath.
