Readers who are keen to broaden their understanding of the Crimean War and of the British army of the period will gain a critical insight through the variety of books we publish on the subject.
Memoirs and letters written by soldiers who took part provide graphic first-hand accounts of the campaign, and biographies and reassessments of key battles are essential reading for students of the Crimea and of nineteenth-century warfare in general.
The book concentrates on the lesser known action that took place prior to the charge - the heavy brigade. Explained in great detail, the author explains both the make-up of the unit an interesting-dealing. A good history read.

This is an amazing collection of superb photograophs beginning with some from the Crimean War - coupled with a brilliant narrative that emphasises the use of photography to record conflict. Where would we be without such evidentiary mementoes?
