reviewed Crimean War: The Story Behind the Myth on June 15, 2013
Crimean War
Ponting, a Foreign Office official-turned-historical gadfly, turns his jaundiced eye towards the Crimean War. Despite the title, his book doesn't exactly overturn the historical record. True, Ponting's more critical of Florence Nightingale and Lord Raglan than most, but neither is he breaking any ground. Ponting is commendable though on three points: 1) emphasizing France's role in the conflict, 2) analyzing the war's secondary theaters, and 3) framing the war's diplomatic and political context. Not as detailed as Trevor Royle or Orlando Figes, but a solid, readable account.
