   For interesting reading, try _The_Reason_Why_. I'm sorry I can't remember
the name of the author. It gives a detailed history of the Crimean War,
including the battle in which the Charge occurred.

   From what I remember, the British commanders had an excellent view from
the hills, and _just_couldn't_imagine_ why their officers (on lower ground)
were so unable to react to what the enemy near them was doing.
