For those wishing to know: Britain and others were involved in the Turkey 
/ Russia war in 1855 when the famous British politician John Bright argued 
that Britain should not be involved.  That incurred a major public 
backlash of which this pamphlet is just one of many.  Langford argues that 
Bright was deliberately mis-representing the origin of the war, in order 
to support his (unpopular) theory.  However, it's written for people who 
know the detail of what was going on at the time, and it might be better 
to read up some background before reading it.

All the best,
