Published to coincide with the centenary of the scuttling of the German fleet, the last great action of the First World War.
On 21 June 1919 the ships of the German High Seas Fleetinterned at Scapa Flow since the Armisticebegan to founder taking their British custodians completely by surprise. In breach of agreed terms the fleet dramatically scuttled itself in a well-planned operation that consigned nearly half a million tons and 54 of 72 ships to the bottom of the sheltered anchorage in a gesture of Wagnerian proportions. Using new material from German sources and a host of eye-witness testimonies Nicholas Jellicoe meticulously reconstructs the circumstances of the scuttling itself and clearly lays out the aftermath for all parties involved.
