This collection of reports sent back to Britain by newspaper correspondents in the field reflects the tensions felt during the progress of the war. The individualism of the Victorian reporters shines through, despite the haphazard attempts of the State to manage the news, presenting, along with over fifty contemporary photographs, a fresh, first-hand perspective on a campaign which heralded the advent of twentieth-century warfare.

Raymond Sibbald is a lecturer in history at de Monfort University. He was previously a senior lecturer in war studies at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst.
