Product Description

On 5 November 1854 the Russians marched out of the besieged city of Sevastopol to throw off the allied British and French forces by mounting a joint attack with their troops from outside the city. Despite outnumbering their enemies five to one the Russians failed to achieve victory in what looked to be almost a foregone conclusion. The third major action of the Crimean War (following Alma and Balaclava), the battle fought in heavy fog at Inkerman proved to be a testament to the skill and initiative of the individual men and officers of the British Army of the day.

Customer Reviews

A very good book about a forgotten War.
Many people are well informed about WWI and WWII, but few have ever studied the Crimean War, or even know anything about it.

This book is suitable for all persons interested in British Military History.
