The Crimean War
by Palmer, Alan
- Used
New York 1992, Dorset, US reprint edition, hard bound in dust jacket, 6 x 8 1/2, FINE/FINE condition, xiv, 289 pages, maps, illus, notes, bibliog, index. In this invaluable new account of the Crimean War, Alan Palmer puts the myths and preconceptions about The Charge of the Light Brigade, Florence Nightingale, the war guilt of Stratford de Redcliffe, the rivalry between Lord Cardigan and Lord Lucan and the patriotic fervor of the English into perspective. Military and naval events are woven into the context of Great Power politics and diplomacy. The Crimean War, often viewed simply as a dramatic incident in the Eastern Question, emerges as a decisive campaign which lowered the stature of both defeated Russia and nonbelligerent Austria, thereby changing the power structure of Europe.Making extensive use of Russian, French and Italian sources, and hitherto untapped material from British archives, Palmer takes the viewpoints of each country involved. The comparisons are fascinating as the narrative moves back and forth between London, St.Petersburg, Vienna and the battle fronts allied and enemy, in the Baltic as well as around the coast of the Black Sea. The Russian commanders are contrasted with their British and French counterparts and an original feature of the book is the examination of the Russian nursing services, and the work of Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna and" the great surgeon and educationalist, Nikola Pirogov."The immediate realities of the war are juxtaposed with the politics behind the scenes particularly through the questioning letters of Aberdeen's son at the battle fronts, to his father, the (rime Minister. A very different view of the war emerges from the letters of the vivacious and incorrigible Mrs. Fanny Duberly, a Hussar officer's wife, who accompanied her husband out to the East.The Banner of Battle is the first comprehensive interpretation of the subject stressing the European and Baltic angles, and so bringing the Crimean War clearly and astutely into focus.
