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 in the British military system. This account of his time
there, first published in 1858 and expanded in this 1895 edition,
explains how Russell was sent by The Times of London in 1854 to
join British troops stationed in Malta. He spent the next two years
witnessing some of the key moments of the war, including the battle
of Balaclava and the ill-fated Charge of the Light Brigade. His
newspaper reports of the fighting and of the living conditions for
the troops were widely read and very influential. In this
retrospective work, Russell gives a more personal narrative of his
experiences, making this an important account of one the most
brutal wars of the nineteenth century.
