Produktbeschreibung
Jutland, the largest naval battle of the First World War, was the most controversial engagement in the Royal Navys history. Falling well short of the total victory expected by the public, it rapidly sparked argument and illfeeling within the Navy and disagreements among those in its most senior echelons, many of whom had been directly involved in the battle. The first attempt to produce even an objective record was delayed and heavily censored, but this was followed by a more ambitious scheme to write a no-holds-barred critique of the fleets performance for use in training future officers at the Naval Staff College. This became the now infamous Naval Staff Appreciation, which was eventually deemed too damaging, its publication cancelled and all proof copies ordered destroyed.
Autorenporträt
William Shliehauf, an America naval historian, had a lifetime ambition to publish a modern edition of The Naval Staff Appreciation, but died before he could see its completion. It has been carried to fruition by another American naval writer, Stephen McLaughlin. Stephen McLaughlin is a librarian at the San Francisco Public Library. He has written extensively on Russian naval ships and is the author of Russian and Soviet Battleships published by Naval Institute Press 2003.
