Book Synopsis
This definitive history of the Russo-Japanese War received rave reviews in its first edition-The Economist, for one, called it A remarkably lively and enjoyable account. As the 100th anniversary of the conflict approaches, Connaughton''s fascinating study will receive renewed attention and appeal to both military enthusiasts and the wider history market. In fascinating detail, he reveals the hopeless confusion of the Russian command structure and how the Russian naval defeat at Tsushima was as farcical as it was complete.
