The Life of John Rushworth, Earl Jellicoe
Adm. Sir Reginald Bacon, the author of the 1929 biography of Lord Fisher, here turns his attention to his old friend and comrade, the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Fleet, John Rushworth, 1st Earl of Jellicoe (1859-1935), a Royal Navy officer who fought in the Anglo-Egyptian War and the Boxer Rebellion and commanded the Grand Fleet at the Battle of Jutland in May 1916 during the First World War. He later served as First Sea Lord, overseeing the expansion of the Naval Staff at the Admiralty and the introduction of convoys, and served as the Governor-General of New Zealand in the early 1920s. This first edition was published in 19136—the year after Jellicoe’s death—but is based in part on interviews with him, as well as information from nearly one hundred other people. Bacon charts his progress from midshipman to Governor General of New Zealand, with the Grand Fleet and Jutland at its heart. Richly illustrated throughout with 40 plates, maps and charts.
The Crisis of the Naval War
Admiral of the Fleet John Rushworth Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe, GCB, OM, GCVO, (1859-1935) was a British Royal Navy admiral. He was born in Southampton into a sea-faring family. He joined the Royal Navy as a cadet in 1872. His first active service was during the Egyptian War of 1882. He was appointed to the Admiralty in 1888. Jellicoe was an intelligent and dedicated officer. Popular with his crews, he was very concerned with the well-being and morale of his sailors. He was also a micromanager, driving himself to the point of exhaustion at times. Jellicoe was made a Viscount in 1918 and became Governor-General of New Zealand from September 1920 to November 1924. On his return to England in 1925, he was made an Earl.
The Crisis of the Naval War: British Royal Navy in World War I
This book presents the work accomplished by the Royal Navy in combating the unrestricted submarine warfare instituted by the Central Powers in February, 1917. It is consequently largely concerned with the successive steps taken at the Admiralty to deal with a situation which was always serious, and which at times assumed a very grave aspect. The ultimate result of all Naval warfare must naturally rest with those who are serving afloat, but it is only just to the Naval officers and others who did such fine work at the Admiralty in preparing for the sea effort, that their share in the Navy's final triumph should be known.

The Grand Fleet, 1914-1916
'Lord Jellicoe has won the affection and esteem of the whole of the Grand Fleet. The book is throughout magnanimous, direct, and transparently honest.' - The Spectator In 1914, Great Britain had one of the most formidable navies the world had ever seen. At the outset of the war the Grand Fleet, under the leadership of Admirals like John Jellicoe, moved to contain their enemy's High Seas Fleet and blockade Germany. Yet, despite the sophistication of the British fleet, it was never able to fully restrict the German navy who led daring raids to bombard the English coast at Yarmouth and Lowestoft and came into conflict with the British at Heligoland Bight and Dogger Bank. Jellicoe, who was comma...
