Customer Reviews

As you would expect
The Osprey Military series of handy potted histories are the Dorling Kindersley of military history. In other words, they are generally concise but with enough depth to to do the subject justice and are lavishly illustrated. Jutland 1916 is no exception. While no great controversies are entered into, all of the known and generally uncontested facts are here. What you do not get is the in depth analysis of background, individual hit damage and minor course changes found in the likes of Andrew Gordon's 'Rules of the Game' or NJM Campbell's 'Jutland: An Analysis of the Fighting', no bad thing if you are not a student or enthusiast of the subject. What you do get is a good, honest and straightforward account; indeed all that an occasional visitor to history books of any kind, let alone naval history, will need. Many of the photographs used are refreshingly unfamiliar and the maps and illustrations are models of clarity, the 3D overhead depictions particularly so. A worthy addition to your library.

Could have been more
Rather dry account of a big classic battle.
Seems more introduction than battle...maybe thats how it was!
Good if you just need a basic overview.
Too expensive for what you get.
