Sinopsis

The first of this five-volume work deals with theácauses of the war, and the opening events up toáand including the Battle of the Ya-Lu. An importantástudy written with all criticism excluded.áThis was war being observed by every military establishment and news agency in the world. The level of interest in the Russo-Japanese War rested on two facts: First, the idea of a small and rising Asian power engaging in a conflict with an established and huge European colonial power captured the imaginations of everyone. The other substantial issue was the use of weapons that were the product of a century of industrial development. The conclusions of pre-World War I studies revealed that the battlefield had become intensely lethal,áor which the belligerents were not well prepared in anyáaspect. Moreover, the defeat of Imperial Russia infusedáa level of hope and energy to struggle for liberation intoáthe people of colour throughout the colonial world.áBecause of the far-reaching global implications of the war, factors ranging from international political, financial andámilitary relationships to the scale of the battlefield(s), toáthe size of armies and duration of battles, recent timesáhave seen a resurgence of interest in this conflict that wasáonce rendered to the dustbin of history by World War I.
