During the Crimean War, the pioneering reports of the journalist William Howard Russell (1820-1907) shaped public opinion, helped bring down a government, and inspired the work of Florence Nightingale. This second volume of dispatches, published in 1856, concludes with poignant reflections on the memorials to the fallen.

Originally printed in The Times newspaper, the vivid reports in this collection had a huge impact on public opinion during the Crimean War. They led to the reform of the military administration, as well as of the provision made for healthcare of the troops, and inspired the work of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole.

First published in 1863, this two-volume work by the British journalist William Howard Russell (1820-1907) describes his experiences in America at the start of the Civil War. It records his impressions of the rival northern and southern states, their leaders and citizens, during a landmark period in America's history.

Russell's Diary in India of 1858-1859 provides a fascinating account of the conflict known as the Indian Mutiny, the first Indian war of independence of 1857-1859. It is particularly interesting in its coverage of the British reprisals after the initial Indian victories, advocating leniency, rebuilding, cooperation, and reform. Volume 1 covers his journey to India and first impressions.

This work of 1866, illustrated by Robert Dudley, is the official account of the 1865 expedition on board the Great Eastern to lay a cable along the Atlantic Ocean floor between Valentia, Ireland, and Foilhummerum Bay, Newfoundland, and will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of technology.
