Böcker av George Charles Henry Victor Paget

Volume II covers the traumatic experiences of the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny. Of the battle of Balaklava, Lord Anglesey writes as fully as has ever been done before. This volume also covers The Persian War of 1856-57, the China War of 1860 and the Ambela and Abyssinian campaigns.

The British Empire was at its height during this period, which saw the cavalry in many colonial engagements, such as the Moonlight Charge at Kassassin and the Charge of the 21st Lancers at Omdurman.
