description: 2.28 p.m. May 31st 1916 — the culminating moment of more than a decade of deadly rivalry between Britain and Germany for control of the seas.With drums beating to quarters and bugles blaring, the High Seas Fleet, Germany's entire naval might steamed majestically into battle against 148 warships of the British Grand Fleet.For 12 hours the inferno raged. And when the last thunderous shots died away, there emerged a new crop of legends, stories of peerless courage, scenes of magnificent drama.Captain Macintyre's enthralling account recreates the shock of battle, the tension of the commanders and the awesome splendour of this giant clash of force.
