This book explores the nexus between railways and the
Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) - the first modern war, and one in
which the railways played a key part.
Felix Patrikeeff and Harry Shukman examine some of the key
dimensions of the Russo-Japanese War, most notably how
uncomfortably technological and human dimensions of Russia's war
effort interleaved in the course of the conflict. They demonstrate
how advantages that might have been built upon were squandered,
blunt traditional forms and habits were applied in politically
tortuous contexts, and technological edge negated by the internal
turmoil of a country unable to tame a process of modernization.
Illustrating the vital role railways played in the
Russo-Japanese War, generally considered to be the first modern,
technological conflict and a precursor to the First World War,
Railways and the Russo-Japanese War will appeal to students of the
Russo-Japanese War, Russian history, military history and
international history in general.
