Unfortunately not. Closest I can recommend is Alexander Fullerton’s book “The Blooding of the Guns” - it’s definitely about Jutland, but Fullerton’s not that great a writer, unfortunately.
Worth a go? If you’re really keen to read a Jutland novel, I suppose - it’s not great but not terrible either.
Steel Castles for the naval history of WWI. Not a novel, but a cracking good read.
I’ve never read much World War II fiction but will second the Herman Wouk “Winds of War” and “War and Remembrance” books. I particularly enjoyed the history of the war from the losing side excepts supposedly done by the fictional German General Armin von Roon.
Probably on pre war US army life there is “From Here to Eternity”
I’m just coming up to the Jutland chapters of Robert Massie’s Castles of Steel now and I second this nomination - non-fiction but awesome. I was a bit disappointed by Dreadnought though - it’s more about the personalities than the ships. I’m not really that interested in how Victoria got on with her various prime ministers, tell me about the ship development!
Surprisingly haven’t heard of it or noted it in the list his books on the inside page. Will search for it now!
The Unknown Soldier by Väinö Linna is the best WWII novel I read.
Edit: I just read the wiki article on the novel I linked to, and apparently the English translation is not very good. Too bad. (I read it in Swedish.)
Yes, I believe that was him. I read his books years ago. I was still in my teens.
I think it’s time to read them again.
Thanks for jogging my memory.
