Title: Russian Crimean War: references query
Post by: Unlucky General on January 01, 2020, 10:30:15 PM

I'm looking to expand my particularly feeble reference library on Russian forces for the Crimean War. In my on-line searching I've repeatedly come across the volume series by Aleksandr Vasilevich Viskovatov for 1825-1855.

They aren't cheap especially considering I'd require several volumes - most likely six at least so I'm looking at several hundred AUD.

Does anyone have them and are they worth it? Thankful in advance if anyone may assist or point me in another direction.

I use the books of Vladimir Vladimirovich Zvegintsov "Uniform of the Russian Army" in 7 parts

Thanks to you both. I think I'll take the plunge and buy a couple of editions to start with.
