Publisher Synopsis
Mara Kozelsky has written a work that will change how scholars periodize modern European war and understand the transitional pivot that the Russian Empire experienced in its midnineteenth-century Victorian era. * Frank Wcislo, Vanderbilt University, The Journal of Modern History * Kozelsky's account of the traumatic and transformative impact of the Crimean War will attract historians of imperial Russia as well as all those interested in thesubject of war and society in the modern period. * Victor Taki, Concordia University of Edmonton, American Historical Review * Drawing upon a wide array of sources, including letters, reports, and documents culled from Ukrainian, Crimean, and Russian archives, Mara Kozelsky offers a tremendously well-researched and compelling account of the Crimean War from the perspective of the Crimean peninsula's inhabitants. Those interested in a traditional military history will appreciate the treatment of the major battles of the conflict. * Jenifer Parks, Rocky Mountain College, H-Net Reviews * This detailed and deeply researched study of the Crimean War's transformative impact will primarily interest specialists of nineteenth-century Russian military history. Scholars of the social and cultural effects of modern warfare, however, will find of much of interest and value in a timely examination of the destructiveness of industrialized warfare before the First World War, centered on a region that remains highly contested. * Robert Dale, Newcastle University, The Journal of Military History * Mara Kozelsky's book comes as a welcome reminder that Crimea was also the scene of a major conflict in the nineteenth century. Her book is a masterful and detailed account of one of the most significant European conflicts after the Napoleonic period ... this timely, erudite, and highly readable book deserves a place on the bookshelves of scholars both of Russia's past and present. * Richard Arnold, The Russian Review * Read more...
