Review # 1 was written on 2017-05-31 00:00:00 Daniel Vinet Overall this was a decent first hand account of the British Army in Crimean conflict, 1853-1856 taken from Sir William Howard Russell's reports and later book on the conflict. It was easy to read but I found that at time the book dragged and my interest tended to flag. I found the book "The Thin Red Line: The eyewitness history of the Crimean War" by Julian Spilsbury a much more engaging book offering very interesting and detailed first-hand accounts from the participants of this campaign.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-04-15 00:00:00 Tamas Holperth Copyrighted in 1966, I own a paperback edition by Panther History (1970) - predating ISBN. A clear read, even without much prior background knowledge about the Crimean War. Still, I can't help but wonder if an unedited version wouldn't be more interesting, as a lot of the omitted material was 'only of interest to the military historian'. Who do you think buys these ?
