Description

Although many Russian regiments of the Crimean War won much-deserved battle honours, the real heroes were the officers and men of the Black Sea Fleet, who for 349 days in improvised earthworks held a stronger and better-armed enemy at bay. Robert Thomas explores the tactics and organisation of the Russian army of the Crimean War, and some of the heroes that emerged, in a volume containing plenty of illustrations, including eight full page colour plates by Richard Scollins.
