Book review: The Crimean War in imperial context, 1854-1856 by Andrew C. Rath

In The Crimean War in Imperial Context, 1854-1856, Andrew C. Rath offers an account of the conflict that not only explores the European dimensions of the Crimean War, but also opens up a new perspective on its global and imperial dimensions, including major events in the Baltic, the White Sea and the Pacific. It it this integrated analysis and Rath’s focus on the greater imperial picture of the Crimean War that will prove highly attractive to scholars, writes Mahon Murphy.
