Summary "On 20 September 1854 the combined British and French armies confronted the Russians at the river Alma in the critical opening encounter of the Crimean War. This was the first major battle the British had fought on European soil since Waterloo almost 40 years before. In this ... study, Ian Fletcher and Natalia Ishchenko reconstruct the battle ... using many rare and unpublished eyewitness accounts from all sides -- English, French and Russian ... It also gives ... insight into military thinking and organization in the 1850s, midway between the end of the Napoleonic era and the outbreak of the Great War"--Dust jkt.
