The Rules of the Game: Jutland and the British Naval Command is a 1996 book by Dr. Andrew Gordon.

Critique

p. 7 "A senior officer's little joke." How does he know that Captain Arthur Craig was joking?
p. 10 "Fisher was still loath to be diverted from his super-cruiser concept." Reading far too much into Ruddock Mackay, Fisher of Kilverstone.
p. 12 Topic of fire control. Gordon reveals his complete ignorance of fire control.
p. 13 Criticising battlecruisers "would have injured his professional prospects." Carlyon Bellairs can hardly be called an expert on the career prospects of the Royal Navy.
