{"product_id":"9781473846760","title":"The Crimean War","description":"This remarkable work features the Crimean War as depicted by the late Victorian military writer James Grant. The material\u2028here was first published in 1894, only 40 years after the end of the Crimean War, at a time when many of the participants were\u2028still in their sixties. Grant therefore had access to the primary source interviews which are now lost forever.\u2028\u2028Originally published as part of the Cassell's series “British Battles on Land and Sea”, it presents the reader with an intriguing insight into how contemporary writers addressed their subject. They say the past is another country and that is certainly true in this instance.\u2028\u2028The contrast between the contemporary Victorian view and the modern view reveals the huge gulf in attitudes. Mr. Grant's work is clearly 'of its time' and reflects the attitudes of the day which were unashamedly xenophobic, jingoistic and militaristic. It nonetheless repays the reader as it provides us with a unique window on the past and brings the long lost world of Victorian Imperialism into focus.","brand":"Pen \u0026 Sword Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126174400752,"sku":"9781473846760","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781473846760_p0.jpg?v=1763602962","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781473846760","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
