The Thin Red Line: The eyewitness history of the Crimean War (Cassell Military Paperbacks) Book

A FORGOTTEN VOICES for Victoria's RedcoatsThe Crimean War was the first 'modern' war for the British forces: journalists reported home via the telegraph, a device that also tempted the government to micro-manage the war from the comfort of Whitehall.

It also gave us 'The Thin Red Line', when a handful of British infantry saw off a horde of Russian cavalry.It was the first war in which ordinary British soldiers recorded their experiences - and Julian Spilsbury brings their story to life, together with the very different world of their officers and assorted mistresses.
