The best account December 2, 2007 DB Rolls (Camberley UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the most enjoyable I have read of the numerous books on this war. It contains large sections which are first hand accounts of the events, and gruesome they are on occasions. The maps are pretty clear and useful though, im the odd case, naming on a map of more of the particular features mentione in the text relating to an action in the area shown would have helped. I certainly wish I had owned this book when I visited Sevastopol and Balaclava some years ago and will certainly have it with me when I try to see more of the battle sites there this year. There is now also a monument to the Light Brigade charge erected since my last trip so that should, I hope,help too. As it was last visit, monuments to tank battles of WWII in the area were the more prominent Crimea features (interesting in themselves)
