At the end of the First World War there was a widespread feeling in the British fleet that the public's disappointment with the results of the Jutland battle was based on misunderstanding. From this grew a desire to set the record straight, and a pair of naval officers collected together some sixty personal accounts of what was the largest ever clash between dreadnought battleships. These came from men of all ranks, widely distributed throughout the British fleet, each only writing of what he had seen and how the experience affected him. These were edited and arranged to follow the chronology of the battle, offering the reader a chance to re-live the excitement, the fear and even occasionally the boredom of each stage of the fighting. Political sensitivities made it a difficult book to publish, and eventually the authors had to produce it privately. An edited (and expurgated) version was commercially published later, but it contained less than a half of the material in the first edition, which despite its great rarity has always remained the choice of scholars and enthusiasts alike.
