In his second adventure, Sergeant Jack Crossman of the 88th, seriously wounded on one of his near-suicide missions to the besieged city of Sebastopol, takes part in the "thin red line" and witnesses the tragic and hopeless charge of the Light Brigade, as well as the more successful charge of the Heavy Brigade, in the Battle of Balaclava. Rousing narrative of courage on the field and the horrifying realities of the Crimean campaign are related with verve and meticulous historical detail, in the spirit of the great military adventures.
