{"product_id":"crimea-the-great-crimean-war-1854-1856","title":"Crimea: The Great Crimean War, 1854-1856","description":"The definitive history of the Crimean War from world-renowned historian Trevor Royle.\n\nThe Crimean War, one of history's most compelling subjects, encompassed human suffering, woeful leadership and misadministration on a grand scale. It created a heroic myth out of the disastrous Charge of the Light Brigade and, in Florence Nightingale, it produced one of history's great heroes. The war was a watershed in world history and pointed the way to what mass warfare would be like in the twentieth century. New weapons were introduced; trench combat became a fact of daily warfare outside Sebastopol; medical innovation saved countless soldiers' lives that would otherwise have been lost. Ultimately, by failing to solve the Eastern Question, the war paved the way for the greater conflagration which broke out in 1914 and greatly prefigured the current situation in Eastern Europe.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1403964165\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1403964165.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Royle, Trevor\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
