Cover has some wear and soiling. Some edge soiling. This work is the product of eighteen years work, commencing shortly after the Battle of Jutland. The author was the youngest officer ever ordered to the United States Naval War College. Holloway Halstead Frost (April 11, 1889-January 26, 1935), was an American World War I Navy officer and Navy Cross recipient. Frost was a member of the U.S. Naval Academy class of 1910. A widely published author, his naval career was as distinguished as his literary; he was a designated naval aviator, and also qualified for command in submarines. He was awarded the Navy Cross for his World War I service. In one of the most penetrating accounts of any battle of the war, Holloway H. Frost presents a minute-by-minute account of the sea-battle of Jutland 1916, 'the greatest naval battle of modern times'. Frost places the story of the battle in the overall context of World War I and in British naval history. Before the battle, exchanges from the air show that the German airships were expert at scouting and bombing, but at little else. Operations on April 25 and May 4 prompted much discussion of the attacks on German airship hangars and setting traps, led by Commander Jellicoe, in the run-up to May 31, the day of battle. Frost gives equal time and criticism to the affairs of both sides, concluding that Jellicoe 'executed a poor conception of war excellently, while Scheer executed an excellent conception of war poorly'. There can be no more comprehensive account of one particular sea battle, and for this reason Frost's account stands as an accurate and balanced picture.
