Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
For non-experts who want to know the basic facts about this little-studied but central event, this is the book for you. It is precise, detailed, cleanly written. Be advised, it is also highly opinionated. The author does not hesitate to dispense blame. I happen to prefer this kind of writing, but if you do not, then stay away. Also, bring your own maps. Those provided (it is not clear by whom) are incomplete, lacking basic information (like which way is North, which you can figure out, but it's nice to be told), lots of important stuff left out: a complete map of the Crimea would have been helpful.Other than that, highly recommended.
