A companion volume to 'Baron Kaneko and the Russo-Japanese War'
(Lulu.com, 2009), this book relates the story of Baron Suematsu's
one-man campaign in Europe using the spoken and written word
against the dangerous bogey of Yellow Peril which fueled European
paranoia about China and Japan and their presumed sinister
intentions of world domination. Kaneko and Suematsu had similar
missions, though Kaneko who was sent to the United States was also
tasked with persuading President Theodore Roosevelt to broker a
peace settlement while Suematsu was more directly involved in the
fight against Yellow Peril which originated in Europe. Kaneko was a
lawyer with a knowledge of economics, while Suematsu was a
historian with a literary bent. Both men were also politicians and
close to the Meiji oligarch Ito Hirobumi. They were the two prongs
of Japan's first ever public diplomacy initiative, and both
succeeded to a considerable degree.
