One of the book's many strengths is a background essay that prepares the reader for the battle and also offers one of the best portraits available of the Royal Navy before, during, and after the war. The author's profiles of the major players involved contribute to a deeper understanding of the battle whose opponents both claimed victory. When the British and German fleets finally met that day in 1916 off the coast of Denmark--as much by accident as by design--none would know that debate over the outcome would rage on for years and become nearly as interesting as the battle itself. Now distanced in time and completely detached from the personalities involved on that momentous day, Yates can take a fresh look at Jutland and the naval actions preceding it.
