The Russo-Japanese war saw the first defeat of a major European
imperialist power by an Asian country. When Japanese and Russian
expansionist interests collided over Manchuria and Korea, the Tsar
assumed Japan would never dare to fight. However, after years of
planning, Japan launched a surprise attack on the Russian Port
Arthur, on the Liaoyang Peninsula in 1904 and the war that followed
saw Japan win major battles against Russia. This book explains the
background and outbreak of the war, then follows the course of the
fighting at Yalu River, Sha-ho, and finally Mukden, the largest
battle anywhere in the world before the First World War.
