How a strategist's ideas were catastrophically ignored in 1914-but shaped Britain's success in the Second World War and beyond
Focusing on British grand strategy during the Crimean War, this revised edition of Andrew Lambert's study examines the formulation and execution of national policy from 1853 to 1856. It features an updated introduction that contextualizes the original 1990 text and includes a new bibliography. This edition aims to engage a new generation of scholars and offers a fresh perspective within the historiography of the Crimean War.
'Fascinating . In Nelson, Andrew Lambert - described by David Cannadine as 'the outstanding British naval historian of his generation' - is able to offer new insights into the individual quality which led Byron rightly to celebrate Nelson's genius as 'Britannia's God of War'.
