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. Questions were raised in Parliament (twenty-two times)  yet still no official report was produced  due to objections from Admiral Beatty.  This led to Admiral Bacon producing his own account of the battle  called The Jutland Scandal  in 1925. Two years later the man instructed to write the official report  Rear-Admiral Harper  decided to publish his account independently  under the title The Truth about Jutland.  Together  these two books lay bare the facts about Jutland and reveal the failings of senior officers and the distortions of the early historians. 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.
