Description
This bitter war between Russia and Turkey, aided by Britain and France, was the setting for the stuff of legends.
Now in e-guide format, this book details the gallant yet suicidal Charge of the Light Brigade: in the words of Tennyson, 'Into the Valley of Death rode the Six Hundred'. It relates the reports made by the first real war correspondent, William Russell of the London Times - reports which served only to highlight the army's problems - and memorialises the heroic deeds of Florence Nightingale, who struggled to save young men from the most formidable enemy in the Crimean War: not the Russians, but cholera.
