“In this detailed account Jellicoe presents much fresh material and analysis, not only telling the sequence of events, but also highlighting the turbulent final days of the German High Seas Fleet in the last months of the war…. This is an excellent historical narrative of the events leading up to the Great Scuttle, the terrible day itself and its aftermath, not least a look at how the world’s naval power was rebalanced between the wars.” —Warships: International Fleet Review

“Jellicoe’s greatest accomplishment is his placement of the great scuttle at Scapa Flow within its broader context. His book is embellished with high-quality illustrations and bolstered by detailed appendices. A website easily accessible via QR code in the first appendix includes photographs, maps, and a high-quality 25-minute animated companion to the book’s contents. These features no doubt will help make this book attractive to a broad audience of scholars, students, and naval enthusiasts.” —The International Journal of Maritime History
