Opis

The Crimean War began as an intensely romantic affair: acts of astonishing bravery, many of them by doctors, women and children, were commonplace. But so was callousness and brutality, and the war soon became an impersonal, long-range killing match that resembled, far in advance, the trench warfare of World War I. It became a showcase for bad generalship and bureaucratic bungling.
