Florence Nightingale

1820-1910

by Cecil Woodham-Smith

The Reprint Society, 1952, black and white frontispiece, one other black and white plate, colour dipped top for-edge (black), hardcover

Very Good Condition, some edge and shelf wear, some rubbing and bumping to edges and corners, previous owners name stamped on front end-paper and title page, slight lean, (see photographs)

"Draws on research by army historians to describe the cover-up of disastrous events in the Crimea, and to separate Nightingale's real achievements from her mythical ones."
