About this book
The title borrows from Tennyson: the six hundred are the cavalrymen who rode into the guns at Balaclava during the Crimean War. James Grant's novel follows Lieutenant Newton Norcliff, a young British officer whose service carries him through campaign, courtship, and the famous charge of the Light Brigade. Grant, a Scottish soldier turned novelist, was one of the great popular voices of Victorian military romance, and here he blends regimental life, love, and the hazards of war with his usual brisk momentum. Readers who enjoy old-fashioned adventure grounded in real history will find plenty to like in Norcliff's homeward journey.
