Book Description
Excerpt from General Gordon's Letters From the Crimea, the Danube, and Armenia: August 18, 1854, to November 17, 1858 Vindicated the reputation of at least English cavalry, and the attempted surprise of the posi tion of Inkerman had resulted in the rout of the Russians. The winter troubles were in full progress. General Gordon himself was one of the arrivals from England destined to convert those troubles into the hopes of the spring, the waning expectations of the summer, and the long anticipated triumph of the early autumn. The Historian has duly recorded and described the progress of events up to the period at which General Gordon's Crimean experiences began; but he has not yet reached that point at which the narrative of events to be found in the following pages really commences. They have, therefore, an intrinsic value apart from that given them by the name of their author. The letters from the Danube and Armenia, which will perhaps be considered the more interesting, are important as giving us from the best possible source the particulars of those two frontier commissions which by the energy of the English Government alone did impose limits for a time to the encroach.

Book Description
The senior British generals of the Victorian era - men like Wolseley, Roberts, Gordon and Kitchener - were heroes of their time. As soldiers, administrators and battlefield commanders they represented the empire at the height of its power. But they were a disparate, sometimes fractious group of men. They exhibited many of the failings as well as the strengths of the British army of the late nineteenth-century. And now, when the Victorian period is being looked at more critically than before, the moment is right to reassess them as individuals and as soldiers. This balanced and perceptive study of these eminent military men gives a fascinating insight into their careers, into the British army of their day and into a now-remote period when Britain was a world power.
