Product Description

History has disagreed over who was to blame for one of Britain’s best-known military disasters. The book makes a masterly analysis of the probabilities, discusses factors previously overlooked, and argues that the blunder was deliberate.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good explanation, Feb 22 2004
By Caius Fabius "caiusfabius" (Oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews
After going to Balaklava and driving around the "Valley of Death" and the south valley, as well as standing on the mountain near where Raglan watched the charge, I can only wish I had found this book before my trip. The excellent maps, drawings and photographs really add to one's understanding of the whole event, the problems, and frustrations of the participants, and the problems and frustrations and motivations of later historians.
The author's in-depth research, knowledge of period artillery, and cavalry, as well as his study of Russian, French and British accounts of the action are well mixed in this easy to understand interpretation of the decisive actions.
Will you agree with his conclusions? I have to say he makes a very good argument and I am satisfied with his delegation of responsibility.
