The Crimean War examines the conflict of 1853–1856 in which Russia faced the Ottoman Empire, Britain, France and Sardinia. It explains the diplomatic dispute over Ottoman territories and Christian holy sites and the wider European determination to contain Russian expansion.

The account follows the naval war, the invasion of Crimea and the prolonged siege of Sevastopol, alongside failures of supply, command and medical care. It also considers the work of nurses and war correspondents and shows how defeat exposed weaknesses that encouraged reform within the Russian Empire.
