The Jutland Scandal

by John Harper

For a century, the Royal Navy dominated the seas, but in the Battle of Jutland, it found itself in a surprising stalemate against the German High Seas Fleet. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, the Germans inflicted heavier losses on the British. The public eagerly awaited official accounts of the battle, but the Admiralty's promises went unfulfilled, sparking parliamentary inquiries. Admiral Beatty's objections delayed the official report, leading Admiral Bacon to publish his own account, 'The Jutland Scandal', in 1925. Two years later, Rear-Admiral Harper, tasked with writing the official report, released his independent account, 'The Truth About Jutland'. These two books, now combined into one volume, expose the truth about Jutland, revealing senior officers' failings and early historians' distortions.
