Contents; Acknowledgments; Dramatis Personae; List of Illustrations; Florence Nightingale: A Pr©♭cis of Her Life; An Introduction to Volume 14; Key to Editing; Letters from the Crimean War; On Return from the Crimean War; Nightingale's Reports on the Crimean War; Bibliography; Index.

Summary: Florence Nightingale is famous as the "lady with the lamp" in the Crimean War, 1854-56. There is a massive amount of literature on this work, but, as editor Lynn McDonald shows, it is often erroneous, and films and press reporting on it have been even less accurate. The Crimean War reports on Nightingale's correspondence from the war hospitals and on the staggering amount of work she did post-war to ensure that the appalling death rate from disease (higher than that from bullets) did not recur. This volume contains much on Nightingale's efforts to achieve real reforms.
