Beneath its tangled alliances and strategic errors, it revealed the brutal shortcomings of 19th-century military medicine and logistics. Yet amid the chaos, figures like Florence Nightingale highlighted a path toward reform. It was a war not celebrated by glory, but by endurance, and its echoes influenced the development of conflict, compassion, and care in the century that followed.## ## A surgeon in Crimea shares a vivid and personal account of the Crimean War through the eyes of George Lawson, a young staff assistant surgeon who served with the British Army from 1854 to 1855. Compiled from his letters home and edited by Victor Bonham-Carter, this engaging narrative offers a rare insight into the daily life, medical challenges, and emotional toll faced by military surgeons during one of the 19th century's most gruelling conflicts. ## Lawson's correspondence captures the raw immediacy of battlefield medicine, from primitive surgical techniques and poor sanitation to the overwhelming influx of casualties at field hospitals. His observations reveal the stark contrast between romanticised notions of war and the grim realities of treating wounded soldiers in makeshift tents, often with limited supplies and under harsh weather conditions. The book also discusses Lawson's interactions with fellow medical officers, including Florence Nightingale's pioneering efforts in hospital reform, and the broader implications of military healthcare during wartime.## ## Beyond its medical focus, the book presents a broader view of the Crimean campaign, including the Siege of Sevastopol, the Battle of Inkerman, and the logistical chaos that impacted the Allied forces. Lawson's reflections are both clinical and philosophical, offering insight into the resilience of the human spirit and the ethical dilemmas faced by those tasked with saving lives amid destruction. ## Richly illustrated with maps, portraits, and period photographs, Surgeon in the Crimea serves as both a historical record and a tribute to the unsung heroes of military medicine. It is a valuable resource for readers interested in military history, medical development, and the personal stories that shed light on the past.## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
