Review
'Anyone who is interested in warfare or the Royal Navy should read this stunningly original account of the 1916 Battle of Jutland and "the reasons why". Gordon is a compelling storyteller, and his weighty tome should frighten no one. It is a classic of the genre.' -- Sir Max Hastings, Evening Standard 'Paperback of t 20000925 'For all naval historians, riveting reading' -- Christopher Andrew, Sunday Telegraph 20000925 'The Rules of the Game is the best book I have read for months ... Gordon researches brilliantly and writes compellingly. His fans are now clamouring for him to write another big book. He is much too good to be allowed to rest on his laurels.' -- The Spectator 20001104 'They don't come much better than this' -- Alan Judd 20001104 'A superb study of military culture' -- Jeremy Black, History Today 20001104 'The most profound study of Jutland this reviewer has ever read' -- Antony Preston, Warship 20001104 'For those who love the epic of sea power ... unputdownable' -- William Waldegrave 20001104 'Does far more than just chart the Battle of Jutland' -- The Times 20050809 'A marvellous work ... a rare combination of major substance and easy accessibility' -- Jon Sumida, American Neptune 20050809

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When hundreds of warships clashed off the coast of Denmark in 1916, the British Grand Fleet should easily have crushed its German rival. Why did it fail to do so? This is the defining account of the Battle of Jutland, one of the most controversial conflicts in naval history. 'Riveting reading.' Christopher Andrew, Sunday Telegraph 'A superb study of military culture.' Jeremy Black, History Today 'Anyone who is interested in warfare or the Royal Navy should read this stunningly original account of the 1916 Battle of Jutland and 'the reasons why'. Gordon is a compelling storyteller.' Max Hastings, Evening Standard 'The most profound study of Jutland this reviewer has ever read.' Antony Preston, Warship Winner of the Longman's History Today Book of the Year Award and the inaugural Westminster Medal for Military Literature, this book 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.
