3.0 out of 5 stars
A re-evaluation of the war from a British perspective.,
By
This review is from: The Crimean War: A Reappraisal (Wordsworth Military Library) (Paperback)
I took a lot of time to read this thin volume. This is a reprint of a book published the the 1960s. It basically re-evaluates the British role in this war on the Crimean peninsula. It does show the Turks as a more gallant ally in the fight against the Russian Empire. It also gives due credit to the French and the Sardinians (Italians).
The book reviews the campaigns and why they were failures. It shows how both the French and British failed to take advantage of the Russians disorganization and capture the vital port. The British settled into a long siege, which also caused thousands of deaths from sickness. A truly terrible state existed in the siege compound. This is an OK read about this war. It explained the war well, but was not a page turner. |
