Gift book "Pavel Nakhimov. Her Majesty's Admiral"

The Crimean War of 1853-1856 was the last "noble" war in the history of mankind, the "war of gentlemen". Firstly, because the enemies, although they remained enemies, respected each other. And secondly, it was a war of "ideal" commanders. Such as Pavel Stepanovich Nakhimov (1802-1855). Hierarchy, ranks, past achievements-all this meant nothing to him when it came to business. And Admiral Nakhimov's life's work was the defense of the Fatherland...
From his youth, studies in the Marine Corps, his first voyages - to the brilliant victory at Sinop and the heroic defense of Sevastopol: the unique documents of P.S.Nakhimov himself tell about the great path of the great naval commander. They are complemented by memoirs of Pavel Stepanovich's associates, memoirs of contemporaries of the famous Russian admiral, fragments of the works of classics of military history - E.V.Tarle, A.M.Zayonchkovsky, M.I. Bogdanovich, A.A.Kersnovsky, as well as hundreds of rare illustrations, most of which the domestic reader will get acquainted with for the first time.
