5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. An Easy Read By Kenneth R. Velten I had never read any of George Henty's works before. Yes they are aimed at young men but include a level of detail about places and events not normally covered by current fiction. You can read this quickly and do not worry about inappropriate violence or sex. This book covers the Crimean War about which most Americans only know of the Charge of the Light Brigade. This book details the challenges of military camp life during the war.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Historical fiction By N. Foster The Crimean War and the incompetence of the British officer corps is well documented in this work of historical fiction. It was the last British war in which totally inexperienced men could be commissioned because of civilian ranking or wealth. It was the beginning of a much better hospital corps, and the conflict in which Florence Nightingale was made famous. The exploits Jack Archer are very unlikely, but demonstrate some of the requirements that were made on midshipmen in the days when ships were made of wood and men of steel.

I read the whole thing, but every once in a while I thought about dumping it. It's a story of a young (sixteen, I think) man's adventures serving in the British army in the1800's in the Crimean War. It's mostly interesting, to an adult, as a study of the society and living conditions of the time. The plot is rather simplistic: the hero, Jack Archer, gets into a series of adventures which he and his companions manage to survive mostly by Jack's inventiveness, fighting skills, and luck. I think a young teenager would be the best target audience because of the adventures. However, the author included a lot of information about the movements of the various units of the armies involved in each of the battles, none of which information impacted the story. Those parts can be skimmed though until the plot takes up again. Language and actions of the story are totally clean. I'd have no problem having my grandchildren read this.
