The best account - By: DB Rolls, 02 Dec 2007
This is the most enjoyable I have read of the numerous books on this war. It contains large sections which are first hand accounts of the events, & gruesome they are on occasions. The maps are pretty clear & useful though, im the odd case, naming on a map of more of the particular features mentione in the text relating to an action in the area shown would have helped. I certainly wish I had owned this book when I visited Sevastopol & Balaclava some years ago & will certainly have it with me when I try to see more of the battle sites there this year. There is now also a monument to the Light Brigade charge erected since my last trip so that should, I hope,help too. As it was last visit, monuments to tank battles of WWII in the area were the more prominent Crimea features (interesting in themselves)
