The first volume of the series "Naval Battles of the First World War" is dedicated to the great confrontation between the English and German linear fleets, which ended with the grandiose Battle of Jutland. This battle was the culmination of the invisible struggle of John Arbuthnot Fisher and Alfred von Tirpitz - the creators of the Grand Fleet and the High Seas Fleet - and Admirals Jellico, Beatty, Scheer and Hipper - their commanders. The book examines in detail the fighting of cruising squadrons and battlecruisers, the battles in the North Sea and, finally, those few hours on May 31, 1916, when the gigantic fleets met in open battle.
