 							The Crimean War - Orlando Figes
  
  Publication
Year: 2010

  The Charge of the Light Brigade, Florence Nightingale—these are the enduring icons of the Crimean War.
Less well-known is that this savage war (1853-1856) killed almost a million soldiers and countless civilians; that it
enmeshed four great empires—the British, French, Turkish, and Russian—in a battle over religion as well as
territory; that it fixed the fault lines between Russia and the West; that it set in motion the conflicts that would
dominate the century to come.
  In this masterly history, Orlando Figes reconstructs the first full conflagration
of modernity, a global industrialized struggle fought with unusual ferocity and incompetence. Drawing on untapped
Russian and Ottoman as well as European sources, Figes vividly depicts the world at war, from the palaces of St.
Petersburg to the holy sites of Jerusalem; from the young Tolstoy reporting in Sevastopol to Tsar Nicolas, haunted by
dreams of religious salvation; from the ordinary soldiers and nurses on the battlefields to the women and children in
towns under siege..
  Original, magisterial, alive with voices of the time, The Crimean War is a historical tour de
force whose depiction of ethnic cleansing and the West's relations with the Muslim world resonates with contemporary
overtones. At once a rigorous, original study and a sweeping, panoramic narrative, The Crimean War is the definitive
account of the war that mapped the terrain for today's world.
