Product Description
Journal of the Crimean War Research Society, January 2008
'One of the most original and thought-provoking books on the Crimean War to date ... He has shaken the foundations of "accepted knowledge" on the war ... Particularly intriguing are his tactical alternatives and analyses of the repercussions of various command decisions.' - Lawrence W. Crider, Editor.
Daily Telegraph, 23 January 1999
Hugh Small, in a masterly piece of historical detective work, convincingly demonstrates what all previous historians and biographers have overlooked - that Farr's revelation is essential to the understanding of Miss Nightingale's personality. Publicly lauded as a heroine, she now realised that her presence in Scutari had, by making it the focus of transport of the wounded back to Britain, contributed to the overcrowding that claimed so many lives. This is a compelling psychological portrait of a Very Eminent (and complex) Victorian.
