Black ops, Crimean Style, continue and keep Gentleman Jack and his "peloton" busy on land and sea. The book ends with a rousing battle scene as the French and British struggle to take Sebastopol. ( ) It took me some time to track down and much finagling to obtain a copy of "The Winter Soldiers." I was in a bit of a lather trying to find a copy due to the fact that a number of respectable fellow readers recommended Garry Douglas Kilworth. Mr. Kilworth was not worth my valiant effort. While entertaining at times "The Winter Soldier" falls far short in the areas of war and history. First of all there is no addendum or afterward featuring historical facts of the era and the resources Mr. Kilworth used. Second, The titular line states "Sergeant 'Fancy Jack' Crossman and the attack on Kertch Harbour" but this battle was featured on all of two pages out of the two-hundred eighty, from initiation to denouement. However what was most frustrating were the missing historical nuances of the plight of average soldiers. What I read about was Fancy Jack's peloton and their conditions, which were far more favorable than the average soldiers'. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

After the Battle of Inkerman the British Army faces a terrible winter. Provisions and clothing are hopelessly inadequate. Sergeant 'Fancy Jack' Crossman and his troop are billeted at Kadikoi village near Balaclava harbor - their official instructions are to blow up the magazine in the Russian Star Fort. But it transpires that Crossman's true, and infinitely more complex, mission is to spy on a British general suspected of corruption, and to bring about his downfall.
