The Jutland Scandal
First published in 1924, this is the account and analysis of the Jutland Battle given by the former Royal Navy Admiral Sir Reginald Bacon, who was commander of the Dover Patrol during World War I. The Battle of Jutland was a naval battle fought by the British Royal Navy’s Grand Fleet under Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, against the Imperial German Navy’s High Seas Fleet under Vice-Admiral Reinhard Scheer during World War I. The battle unfolded in extensive maneuvering and three main engagements (the battlecruiser action, the fleet action and the night action), from 31 May to 1 June 1916, off the North Sea coast of Denmark’s Jutland Peninsula. It was the largest naval battle in that war and the only full-scale clash of battleships. Jutland was the third fleet action between steel battleships, following the smaller but more decisive battles of the Yellow Sea (1904) and Tsushima (1905) during the Russo-Japanese War. Jutland was the last major battle fought primarily by battleships in world history. Richly illustrated throughout with 42 diagrams.
The Dover Patrol 1915-1917
The standard history of the legendary naval force, charged with safeguarding the Channel throughout WWI, by the commander who led it during most of the critical period of the war but who was superseded for political reasons before the great operations he had planned (the mine-barrage and the attack on Zeebrugge) actually took place.

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 Dover Patrol 1915-1917
The standard history of the legendary naval force, charged with safeguarding the Channel throughout WWI, by the commander who led it during most of the critical period of the war but who was superseded for political reasons before the great operations he had planned (the mine-barrage and the attack on Zeebrugge) actually took place.
Admirals of the World
This work provides biographies of more than 500 men and women who have served as admiral, vice admiral, or rear admiral. While officers from the U.S., British, French and Japanese navies make up the bulk of the work, officers from 22 countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, and Spain, are also included. The main criterion for inclusion is that each person must have actively served in the rank of at least rear admiral, but not necessarily in enemy action. This effectively rules out people who were granted the rank on retirement, as a courtesy title or posthumously. The book also includes lists of admirals organized by nationality and by year of birth.
