<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A world-renowned historian presents the definitive history of the Crimean War, the conflagration that was a watershed in history and pointed the way to what mass warfare would be like in the 20th century. 24 illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Crimean War is one of history's most compelling subjects. It encompassed human suffering, woeful leadership and maladministration on a grand scale. It created a heroic myth out of the disastrous Charge of the Light Brigade and, in Florence Nightingale, it produced one of history's great heroes. New weapons were introduced; trench combat became a fact of daily warfare outside Sebastopol; medical innovation saved countless soldiers' lives that would otherwise have been lost. The war paved the way for the greater conflagration which broke out in 1914 and greatly prefigured the current situation in Eastern Europe.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Trevor Royle, a very well-respected military historian, has written a new and up to date account of [the Crimean] war, giving proper attention to the Russian side.
