I am looking for recommendations for a single Crimean War book, one that covers the political lead up a tad as I know nothing about the conflict, but one that focuses more on the military aspect, including the Turkish, Sardinian, and French roles, along with the British and Russians of course. So, a military history with a bit of background. Suggestions? |

I would have to second Nashville's suggestions. The Royle books is very good for the politics leading up to the actual start of the war. |

Well, good and bad…that book was for sale on here not too long ago and I failed to grab it then…but I think my local Half Price Books has it. I've joined the Yahoo group…thanks for that as well. I am going to hold off on the Facebook link for now…I have too many groups and pages to deal with. All great suggestions, thanks Nashville! |

To join in on the chorus, I really enjoyed Trevor Royle's book. Got it cheap and used on Amazon. From not knowing anything about the war before reading the book, I came away feeling like I had a decent understanding and experiences a very pleasant read… |

"The Crimean War" by Clive Ponting is a great read and covers all of your requests for a book on the topic. link |

I'm half-way through Trevor Royle's book at the moment and it is an excellent read. |

The Crimean War; A History by Orlando Figes The Crimean War: Queen Victoria's War with the Russian Tsars
Hugh Small Small's work is a short one, but very good. Figes is a more extensive work. I used both as reference material for a Senior Thesis. I enjoyed Small's work more, but both are excellent. B |

"Joe's Shop" was selling it. Look in the "Marketplace" or get in touch with him as he may have multiple copies |

Another book I have is 'War In the Crimea' by Ian Fletcher and Natalia Ischenko. Lots of illustrations as well. |
