add to cart   close window

The article critically apprises the book "The War in the Crimea," by Edward Hamely. This is one of the series of volumes describing events of war in Crimea, Ukraine. This book has the great advantage of being written by an actor in events described in the book. Hamely served in British army in Crimea and was an eye witness of many of the leading incidents of the war. Hamley's book is, both from the military and literary point of view, a very valuable contribution to the historic literature of the day. The general reader who has no time for a large work and yet wishes for a lucid, adequate and in places, extremely vivid account of the most picturesque and romantic military episode of the century, cannot do better than read it.
