Editorial Reviews

Review

A useful tool for the neophyte Crimean War student or researcher. (Military History )

...Arnold focuses on the costly and futile Crimean conflict. A chronology and introduction outline events leading up to and resulting from the war. The topical entries include significant military events...key individuals...and important geographic locations....this volume contains information more thorough and specific than most sources. (Choice )
