The first book I have given a 5-star rating - taken from journal accounts of soldiers and civilians who experienced the siege, the narration captures the Dickensian aspect of life that resulted in the siege and the gallantry & ingenuity of the British soldiers. The book drives home the old adage that “you can only keep what you can defend”
