The Crimean War is one of the most compelling subjects in British history. Everyone knows about the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava, and men like Raglan and Cardigan became household names.

Trevor Royle demonstrates how the Crimean War was a watershed in world history: coming between the defeat of Napoleon in 1815 and the opening shots of the First World War in 1914 it pointed the way to what mass warfare would be like for soldiers in the twentieth century.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Generally a very good copy with only a couple of minor faults. Hinge is a little cracked at the top of the half title page and there is some slight shelfwear along the top of the dust jacket. No inscriptions or markings and no tears to dust jacket. Overall this is a very good example.
