Want a book on the Crimean War? This is it! December 8, 2006
Michael D Booker (France)

If you are considering purchasing just one volume on the Crimean War, I am sure this very reasonably priced re-print of the highly successful classic masterpiece will more than meet your requirements. Although there have been several much larger and more detailed volumes published to date, this one is without a doubt one of the easiest to read, whilst being sufficiently authoritative enough at the same time.
The lessons learnt during the Crimean War - one of the most important periods in our military history, resulted in "seeds being sown" that would eventually change the British Army for ever. The author - a distinguished and decorated WW2 cavalry officer himself, has cleverly brought together the events leading up to the war with all major aspects of the campaign. He has also covered plus a lot more too.
I am sure the researcher will be delighted with excellent black and white period maps and engravings included. The highly detailed appendices is an added bonus , as it features a chronological table of events and an excellent bibliography together with the Order of Battle for both the British Expeditionary Force of 1854 and the Russian and French Order of Battle for Alma. The section covering the titles of British Cavalry regiments as they changed in the period between 1854 and 1900 and then again 1971 is most useful.
This publication will be invaluable for those lucky enough to be able to visit the battlefield, however for the rest of us "armchair or deskbound historians" it will be very useful and an enjoyable read too.
