Written by the leading authority in the field, this study offers a fresh account of the Crimean War in its widest European and World contexts. Arguing that the modernity of the Crimean War has consistently been overlooked in comparison to the American Civil War, while in fact many of the
battlefield technologies used in the latter were developed in the former, Baumgart probes the conflict's key issues: its origins and diplomacy, the war aims of the combatants, the capacity and characteristics of their armies, and the nature of the fighting itself.

About the Author:
Winfried Baumgart, Professor of History, Johannes-Gutenberg-Universitat, Mainz.
Review:
"This finest overview of [the Crimean War] yet synthesized... Tight integration of various diplomatic and political issues with the military and naval actions of all parties concerned. His approach puts the war into a woldwide perspective and this successfully supports his bold, but correct,
conclusion that if the war had continued into 1856, the First World War would have been a nineteenth, not a twentieth century occurrence." The Journal of Slavic Military Studies
