About This Item
New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2004. First Paperback Edition . Tade Paperback. Very Good. 6" X 9 1/4. 564 Pages Indexed. This is the February 2004 First Palgrave Macmillan. Very slight concave spine. Barely noticeable. Interior text pages are tight and free of marks. The Crimean War, one of history's most compelling subjects, encompassed human suffering, woeful leadership and misadministration on a grand scale. It created a heroic myth out of the disastrous Charge of the Light Brigade and, in Florence Nightingale, it produced one of history's great heroes. The war was a watershed in world history and pointed the way to what mass warfare would be like in the twentieth century. New weapons were introduced; trench combat became a fact of daily warfare outside Sebastopol; medical innovation saved countless soldiers' lives that would otherwise have been lost. Ultimately, by failing to solve the Eastern Question, the war paved the way for the greater conflagration which broke out in 1914 and greatly prefigured the current situation in Eastern Europe. Contents in Three Parts and 33 Chapters.
