Excerpt from Kars and Our Captivity in Russia: With Letters From Gen. Sir W. F. Williams, Bart., Of Kars, K. C. B.; Major Teesdale, C. B.; And the Late Captain Thompson, C. B
My first impulse was to abandon the under taking; but, finding that I was pledged to the public and my publisher, I continued, at the urgent advice of my friends, the proposed duty, amid many distractions of business and the more pleasing interruptions of public receptions and private hospitality. Such as the book is, I now ofi'er it to the reading world, conscious of many defects in execution.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an amalgamation of letters written by Turkish soldier Captain Thompson while serving alongside the British in the Crimean War. The collection gives vivid, first-hand accounts of the conflict from the vantage point of an officer involved in the famous protracted siege at Kars. As his letters chronicle his experiences from 1855 onwards, Thompson provides descriptions of the battles and interactions with Russian soldiers, including General Mouravieff. These accounts provide unique insights into the realities and complexities of 19th-century warfare. Amongst the troop accounts and siege descriptions, Thompson's letters also provide a running commentary on the Turkish soldiers' perspective, including their culture, habits, and their occasionally fraught relations with their British counterparts. Thompson's letters offer a unique glimpse into the brutal and fascinating world of the Crimean conflict. Detailed descriptions of the bloody combat are intertwined with accounts of everyday life under siege, and rich historical insights into the nature of warfare in the 1850s. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
