The journalist William Howard Russell (1820 1907) is sometimes
regarded as being the first war correspondent, and his reports from
the conflict in the Crimea are also credited with being a cause of
reforms made to the British military system. This 1865 book began
as a review in The Times of the five-volume work of General Eduard
Todleben (or Totleben), the military engineer and Russian Army
General, whose work in creating and continually adapting the land
defences of Sevastopol in 1854 5 made him a hero and enabled the
fortress to hold out against British bombardment for a whole year.
Russell added extracts from the original book to his review, and
enlarged his commentary on the Russian text, producing a thorough
and accurate synthesis, but always highlighting the central
importance of the Russian work to any student of the history of the
Sevastopol siege.
