As well as surviving the efforts of their determined enemy, the Russians, they had to overcome the harshest weather, rampant disease and woefully inadequate administrative support. As revealed to a shocked nation by the first war reporters, medical care was largely non-existent and wounded faced the trauma of being left for days without medical attention. This was where Florence Nightingale came in. Battles were prolonged, desperate and hugely costly. The Crimean War was the catalyst for the modernisation of the Army, due to the disgraceful injustice of conditions and lack of leadership and care by many in authority.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49544718909713,"sku":"GOR005040221","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1844153436.jpg?v=1751313418"},{"product_id":"cawnpore-lucknow-hb-book-don-richards-9781844155163","title":"Cawnpore \u0026 Lucknow Hb","description":"Following the May 1857 uprising by sepoys in  Meerut and Delhi, the whole future of the British Raj was in the balance.  Nowhere was this better demonstrated than at Lucknow and Cawnpore.  At the latter a garrison of 240 with 375 British women and children battled to survive a siege by 3,000 mutineers led by Nana Sahib.  Unimaginable horrors of artillery and sniper fire coupled with the crippling heat of the Indian summer took their toll.  An offer of safe passage was treacherously reneged on and the massacres which followed drew a terrible retribution when relief finally arrived, in the shape of Generals Havelock and Neil. At Lucknow, the 1800 British men, women and children supported by more than 1,000 loyal sepoys resisted assaults by 20,000 mutineers, despite heavy casualties and sickness.  Sir Colin Campbell's force got through to relieve the garrison and evacuate civilians in November 1857 but the city was not restored to British control until March 1858.These dramatic events are brought to life in this first rate history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49723859239185,"sku":"GOR004292277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1844155161.jpg?v=1751248692"},{"product_id":"mission-wild-book-don-richards-9780976344926","title":"Mission Wild","description":"Mission Wild One Man's Adventures in Saving the Planet by Don Richards God is the Creator of this world and has given mankind the authority to look after it. Don, through his autobiography and adventures as a game ranger and later as a missionary in Africa and the Amazon, encourages Christians and the Church that Biblical environmental stewardship should be an integral part of discipleship and peoples' lives. The book also demonstrates to non-Christians God's involvement in His creation. Principles of ecology are featured, described as God's secrets, insights into God's character. Adventure stories experienced by the author in the wilds demonstrate how life can be an exciting journey of discovery. Don also addresses the global warming debate. The book includes chapters arranged chronologically and a mixture of Biblical teachings and personal adventure stories that go hand in hand with teachings. It also covers topical subjects such as global warming and climate change as well as sustainable community development and the need for environmental education. Mission Wild: One Man's Adventures in Saving the Planet is written for Christians as a tool for understanding their environment, discipling them in Biblical Environmental Stewardship. Environmental Stewardship is not a New Age prerogative, but should be part of teaching in the church. The book is also directed to non-Christians, to demonstrate God's involvement in His creation. It is not a scientific treatise but describes ecology in a simple way for the layman. It is also useful for missionaries and people preparing for missions as an encouragement of how they can use their knowledge of ecology and sister disciplines in missions. It is also written for nature enthusiasts and people longing for adventure.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740737925393,"sku":"NIN9780976344926","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780976344926.jpg?v=1763484732"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-don-richards.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
