Samenvatting	Two high-ranking officers defied the British Admiralty to tell the tale of World War I's first naval battle against Germany. The Royal Navy had ruled the sea unchallenged for one hundred years since Nelson triumphed at Trafalgar. Yet when the Grand Fleet faced the German High Seas Fleet across the grey waters of the North Sea near Jutland, the British battleships and cruisers were battered into a draw, losing far more men and ships than the enemy. The Grand Fleet far outnumbered and outgunned the German fleet, so something clearly had gone wrong. The public waited for the official histories of the battle to be released to learn the truth, but month after month went by with the Admiralty promising, but failing, to publish an account of Jutland.

This led to Admiral Bacon producing his own account of the battle, called The Jutland Scandal, in 1925.

Produced as one volume for the first time, this book tells the truth about the scandal that developed following the largest battle ever fought at sea.
