Balaclava 1854: The Charge of the Light Brigade
John Sweetman
The port of Balaclava was crucial in maintaining the supply lines for the Allied siege of Sevastapol in the Crimea. The Russian attack in October 1854 therefore posed a major threat to the survival of the Allied cause. This book examines in detail the crucial battle of Balaclava, including the attack on the redoubts; the action of "the thin red line" in which an assortment of about 700 British troops, some invalids, were abandoned by their Turkish allies; the subsequent charge of the Heavy Brigade; and the most legendary part of the battle: the infamous charge of the Light Brigade.
