Summary: "The British Expedition to the Crimea" by Sir William Howard Russell is a historical account likely written in the mid-19th century. The book details the British military campaign during the Crimean War, capturing the experiences, struggles, and insights of the soldiers and military leaders involved. It seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the conflict and its implications for Britain and its allies. The opening of the narrative sets the stage by discussing the motivations behind the British involvement in the Crimean War, primarily to protect the independence of Turkey against Russian aggression.
