Crimean War and the Birth of Modern Europe

The Crimean War is often seen as one of the striking events in the Eastern Question; It stood out as a decisive struggle that changed the balance of power in Europe by reducing the size of both defeated Russia and non-combatant Austria.

Palmer, who effectively uses Russian, French and Italian sources and hitherto unprocessed material in the British archives, also reveals the views of the countries on the subject. All events regarding land and naval forces are handled in the context of Great Powers politics and diplomacy. Focusing clearly on the Crimean War, with an emphasis on the European and Baltic aspects, the book is the first comprehensive commentary on this subject.

In this valuable book that tells the Crimean War from a new perspective, Alan Palmer reveals the myths and prejudices regarding concepts such as the Battle of Balaklava, Florence Nightingale, Stratford de Redcliffe's war crime, the rivalry between Lord Cardigan and Lord Lucan, and the patriotic enthusiasm of the British.
