The Crimean War
Author: James Grant
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1781592357
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
This remarkable work features the Crimean War as depicted by the late Victorian military writer James Grant. The material?here was first published in 1894, only 40 years after the end of the Crimean War, at a time when many of the participants were?still in their sixties. Grant therefore had access to the primary source interviews which are now lost forever.??Originally published as part of the Cassell's series ÒBritish Battles on Land and SeaÓ, it presents the reader with an intriguing insight into how contemporary writers addressed their subject. They say the past is another country and that is certainly true in this instance.??The contrast between the contemporary Victorian view and the modern view reveals the huge gulf in attitudes. Mr. Grant's work is clearly 'of its time' and reflects the attitudes of the day which were unashamedly xenophobic, jingoistic and militaristic. It nonetheless repays the reader as it provides us with a unique window on the past and brings the long lost world of Victorian Imperialism into focus.

A Bloody Day
Author: Dan Harvey
Publisher: Merrion Press
ISBN: 1785371436
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
Within the grand narrative of the Battle of Waterloo – one that marks the end of Napoleon’s career as conqueror and the beginning of an extended peace in western Europe – little is known of the formidable efforts made by the Irish who supplemented the strength of the British Army and, in no small measure, directed the outcome of this vital moment in the history of the world. Through empirical research, Dan Harvey has delivered a book that reveals the manoeuvres that the Irish mounted against the French and the courage that they displayed at so many points within the confrontation. Harvey examines attacks from the French infantry, cavalry and Imperial Guard, revealing how Irish soldiers bore the brunt of Napoleon’s frontal assault; they suffered many casualties but were also witness to countless feats of valour. A Bloody Day brings the actions of the Irish at Waterloo into focus, unravelling the true import of their deeds on Sunday, 18 June 1815.
