Transcribed, edited and annotated by Michael Springman, "Sharpshooter in the Crimea: The Letters of the Captain Gerald Goodlake VC 1854-56" provides a unique, informative, and fascinating perspective on the British forces engaged in the Crimean conflict. While very highly recommended as a core addition to 19th Century British Military History collections in general, and the Crimean War in particular.

The Crimean War is old history these days. And yet if you look at some of the photos of wounded veterans in the Royal Collection Trust archive, some of those portraits look as though they could have been taken yesterday. These days, the Crimea is probably better known - by those who care to interest themselves in such matters - as the seat of more recent Russian aggression, but this new book by Pen and Sword is a fascinating examination of that earlier campaign which lasted from October 1853 to February 1856. I had a vague knowledge of the main battles but I had no idea at all that a railway was constructed from Balaclava to the front line. This book ticks all the boxes for me: well researched, well-illustrated, readable (not dry), with footnotes, an index and a bibliography. Well done, Anthony Dawson. [b] 5 out of 5 [/b]
