About this product

Product Information

'He writes with pace and precision, and as an account of this episode his book will be hard to beat...excellent'. Simon Heffer, The Spectator. On 25 October 1854, during the Crimean War, the Light Brigade of the British Cavalry Division made the most magnificent and most brutal charge in military history. Almost 700 men armed with sabre and lance, charged straight at the muzzles of Russian cannons. This vivid and extraordinarily detailed account of the charge and the bloody melee that followed, by an author with unique access to regimental archives, is told largely in the words of the survivors themselves. Terry Brighton takes the reader closer than ever before to the experience of charging down the Valley of Death.

Outstanding and Compelling Read.
A truly stunning piece of writing about a subject in English Military History which examines the real story behind what most people accept as " Victorian Heroism in the face of Overwhelming Odds" It exposes the "Class System" in mid-19th. Century English Society at it's worst, with a compelling insight as to what really happened during the Crimean War.
