'Professor Lambert's important book remains required reading to understand the true nature of the rather mis-named "Crimean War" and the key importance of its maritime dimensions to the successful outcome.' Eric Grove, University of Salford, UK 'The story is a classic account of how not to organise high command in war, and ought to be a text book in every staff college.' Nicholas A.M. Rodger, All Souls College, Oxford, UK 'The first edition of this book revolutionized the way we think about the Crimean War. Andrew Lambert showed then and reinforces the point now that the title this conflict has come to be known by is a misnomer. He argues that the real centre of gravity was not the Black Sea at all, but the Baltic and the potential vulnerability of St Petersburg to allied naval attack. That was what swung Russian opinion, not Florence Nightingale, not the charge of the Light Brigade, not even the fall of Sebastopol. In giving us this classic example of how often the maritime contribution to military operations, so central to the successful conduct of "the British Way of War", can be blotted out by the media's focus on the guns and flags of land battle, Andrew Lambert does us a real service both for a better understanding of the past - and of the future too.' Geoff Till, King's College London, UK 'This is an important work for several reasons. Not only does it throw fresh light on the Crimean War, but it also reveals the limitations of British power even at the height of its greatness... An important book for anyone interested in how superpowers can fail to understand the limitations of their power.' New York Military Affairs Symposium Review 'As a general history of naval operations during the war this remains the best available... This is a valuable book which deserves a place in every naval historian's library...' International Journal of Maritime HistoryMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
