This was a perfectly ok history of the Crimean War. Not overly well written, though it portrayed ‘wow this war was pretty stupid’ very well, though I do think a book about a war that was basically started because a bunch of aristocrats were too stupid not to start it could have used a more damning perspective on said aristocrats.

Also very little about Florence Nightingale. Didn’t even mention when she turned up! Disappointing.
