The Rules of the Game
Jutland and British Naval Command
Andrew Gordon
Exploring the failures of communication and command in the Battle of Jutland, this book delves into the conflict of command styles and doctrinal rifts dating back to the Victorian Empire. The author reveals how the Royal Navy was assimilating the advent of mechanization and forming its future combat doctrine in the artificial conditions of peacetime. This insightful book offers a wider perspective on issues that hold eternal relevance to the fighting services.

You look at our reliance on communications today, on cyber and all this stuff, and then you read Andrew Gordon’s book on The Rules of the Game about what went wrong for the Royal Navy between Nelson’s navy at Trafalgar and Admiral Jellicoe’s navy one hundred years later at Jutland, and you get a real reminder of how you can take fundamental errors that just screw you up royally. – fuente
