Crimean War Summary

Crimean War by John Sweetman

The bitter war between Russia and Turkey, aided by Britain and France, was the setting for the stuff of legends. This book details the gallant yet suicidal Charge of the Light Brigade, now immortalized in film; in the words of Tennyson, 'Into the Valley of Death rode the Six Hundred.' It relates the reports made by the first real war correspondent, William Russell of the London Times--reports that served only to highlight the army's problems. It also memorializes the heroic deeds of Florence Nightingale, who struggled to save young men from the cholera epidemic that became the most formidable enemy in the Crimean War.

Crimean War Reviews

A very useful resource, especially, but by no means exclusively, in school and college libraries...these books offer very useful standardised accounts and are presented in very attractive and approachable volumes. -- Reference Reviews
