A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CRIMEAN WAR
Book ID/图书代码： 06545014B69448
English Summary/英文概要： The Crimean War (1853-1856) was the first modern war. A vicious struggle between imperial Russia and an alliance of the British, French and Ottoman Empires, it was the first conflict to be reported first-hand in newspapers, painted by official war artists, recorded by telegraph and photographed by camera. In her new short history Trudi Tate discusses the ways in which this novel representation itself became part of the modern war machine . She tells forgotten stories about the war experience of individual soldiers and civilians, including journalists, nurses, doctors, war tourists and other witnesses. At the same time, the war was a retrograde one, fought with the mentality, and some of the equipment, of Napoleonic times. Tate argues that the Crimean War was both modern and old-fashioned, looking backwards and forwards, and generating optimism and despair among those who lived through it. She explores this paradox while giving full coverage to the bloody battles (Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman), the siege of Sebastopol, the much-derided strategies of the commanders, conditions in the field and the political impact of the anti-Russian alliance. In its skilful interweaving of military, medical and social history, the book offers a fresh and intriguing look at one of the most fascinating conflicts of modern times.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 克里米亚战争(1853-1856)是第一场现代战争。这是俄罗斯帝国与英、法、奥斯曼帝国联盟之间的恶性斗争，是第一次在报纸上第一手报道的冲突，由官方战争艺术家绘制，用电报记录和相机拍摄。在她的新短篇历史中，特鲁迪·泰特讨论了小说本身如何成为现代战争机器的一部分。她讲述了一些被遗忘的关于个别士兵和平民的战争经历的故事，包括记者、护士、医生、战争游客和其他目击者。与此同时，这场战争也是一场倒退的战争，作战一方以拿破仑时代的心态和一些装备作战。泰特认为，克里米亚战争既现代又过时，既回顾过去又展望未来，在经历其中的人中产生了乐观和绝望。她在全面报道血腥的战斗（阿尔玛、巴拉克拉瓦、英克曼）、对塞瓦斯托波尔的围攻、指挥官们备受嘲笑的战略、战场上的条件以及反俄联盟的政治影响的同时，探讨了这个悖论。这本书巧妙地将军事、医学和社会历史交织在一起，以一种新鲜而有趣的视角审视了现代最引人入胜的冲突之一。(Sandy)
