The Crimean War is remembered principally because of a cavalry charge, the heroism of one woman, and the fact that the British generals' names—Raglan and Cardigan—passed into the language as articles of clothing. A whimsical reflection, perhaps, on where their real talents lay. A. J. Barker has written a witty and wise account of that vexing and perplexing war.
