Woodham-Smith, Cecil - The Reason Why - ( Item 138132 )
Published in London by Folio Society. 2015. First Thus. Fine Hardback. No inscriptions or bookplates. Fine slipcase. Bound in buckram, blocked with a design by Neil Gower. Set in Laurentian. 320 pages. Frontispiece and 16 pages of colour plates 9.5" x 6.25" . Introduced by Allan Mallinson. Celebrated writer and historian Cecil Woodham-Smith turns her acerbic eye on the disastrous Charge of the Light Brigade. Crafted meticulously from private letters and diaries, newspaper reports and War Office correspondence, The Reason Why combines a compelling examination of the personalities at the heart of the disaster – brothers-in-law and sworn enemies Lords Lucan and Cardigan – with a stringent analysis of the fatal assault itself. The binding is inspired by the colours of Lord Cardigan's 11th Hussars, nicknamed 'the Cherry Pickers' for their impeccable red trousers. Crimea was the first war to be photographed by war correspondents, and this edition features iconic photographs by Roger Fenton, alongside painted portraits and contemporary cartoons. ISBN: B07C5KJTTW .
