About this book
The legendary hidden report on the Royal Navy's failures at the WWI Battle of Jutland is revealed for the first time in this transcribed edition.
Jutland, the largest naval battle of the First World War, was the most controversial engagement in the Royal Navy's history. Falling well short of the total victory expected by the public, it sparked fierce debate among senior naval officers, many of whom had been directly involved in the battle.
The first attempt to produce an objective record was delayed and heavily censored. That report was followed by a no-holds-barred critique of the fleet's performance intended for training purposes at the Naval Staff College. This became the now-infamous Naval Staff Appreciation, which was deemed too damaging to be published. All proof copies were ordered destroyed.
Despite the orders, however, a few copies survived. Now this long-suppressed work is finally revealed in this edition featuring expert modern commentary and explanatory notes.
