HARDCOVER. This new translation from Japanese tells the story for
the first time in English of Baron Kaneko's one-man diplomatic
mission to the U.S. during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05), in
which he was tasked with winning the hearts and minds of the
American people to the Japanese side. He achieved this through
personal contacts with major figures including his close friend
President Theodore Roosevelt, after-dinner speeches, lectures,
press conferences and newspaper interviews, thereby displaying a
mastery of the media which seems thoroughly modern in its influence
and control. Upholding the principles of Bushido as explained by
Nitobe Inazo in his book of that name first published in 1900, he
was careful not to attack or slander his Russian opponent Count
Cassini and mourned Admiral Makarov's death in battle. 26 B/W
images. This volume includes an extensive bibliography, a
chronology and an index. (Also available as a paperback or download
from the publisher, and at online retail stores.)
