The author points out that very few battles are named for something other than the site of the battle. Pickett's Charge, Custer's Last Stand, the Charge of the Light Brigade. Following a brief background and order of battle, this book gives almost a minute by minute account of the battle. It is riveting. Destroys many myths of the battle.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The Real Reason Why the Light Brigade was Lost. 285 pages. An informative and fascinating read on military warfare and tactics in 1854/55, complete with maps, sketches, photos, as well as, British/French/Russian Order of Battle diagrams. Mark Adkin easily puts the reader into the battle situation on what is probably the most famous cavalry action. I would recommend this book to any military or Crimean War history reader.
