This passionate and evocative book covers the major events that led up to the Great War between Russia and Great Britain and her unexpected ally — France. It features the famous and the infamous battles of Balaclava, the Alma and Inkerman and the extraordinary siege of Sevastopol and also includes a view of the Great Charge of the Light Brigade through the eyes of a Russian gunner, and captures the harrowing scenes of the field hospitals where Florence Nightingale established her reputation.
