On 24 April 1877 Tsar Alexander II declared war on the Ottoman Empire.

The Sultan had a battle-hardened army ready for war.

For the Tsar, this was to be the first major conflict since the abolition of serfdom and the creation of a German-style military reserve system.

Ian Drury details the campaigns fought in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877, and the uniforms and organisation of the armies of both sides, in a text backed by numerous illustrations and photographs, including eight full page colour plates by Raffaele Ruggeri.
