The Japan-russia War

To borrow a term from the world of cinema, The Japan-Russia War was indeed a "classic". Prior to the Great War, it was the first of the 'modern wars', involving the famous Vladivostok Fleet of the Russian Navy. The war - and its vessels had far reaching efforts in shaping the history of both the nations. Originally intended for American readers, this book has now claimed its rightful place as a comprehensive guide to one of the most thrilling stories of all time. Sydney Tyler, war correspondent and author of The Spanish War and The War in South Africa has chronicled what was then called 'the greatest conflict of modern times'. An additional 'collection' are the illustrated photographs and drawings made by eye witnesses, a far cry from present day war correspondents being 'embedded' in a particular action.A real collector's item, first published in 1905.
