"A True Account of the Battle of Jutland, May 31, 1916" by Thomas Goddard Frothingham is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed examination of one of the most significant naval engagements of World War I, focusing on the actions and maneuverings of both the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet. The author aims to clarify the often controversial and misunderstood events of the battle, drawing on official reports from the commanders involved. In this comprehensive narrative, Frothingham meticulously delineates the events leading up to and during the Battle of Jutland, providing insights into the strategies employed by both sides. He describes how Vice Admiral Beatty's initial engagements with the German battle cruisers led to a series of tactical missteps, ultimately resulting in heavy losses for the British forces. As the battle progressed, the author highlights the effectiveness of Admiral Scheer's maneuvers, which allowed the German fleet to evade significant damage and escape back to their bases despite being outnumbered. Frothingham’s account also discusses the impact of weather conditions, communication failures, and inadequate preparations, which contributed to the indecisiveness of the battle, leaving readers with a nuanced understanding of this pivotal moment in naval warfare.
