Every war leaves an imprint in history, but few have had such a
pervasive impact in so many respects as the Russo-Japanese War of
1904-1905. Politically, it fatally weakened the Russian Empire
while allowing Japan to follow more dangerous paths.
Diplomatically, it shook the power balance in Europe and reshaped
it in the form of two coalitions, leading to World War I. With
regard to the art of warfare, it emphasized the use of trench
warfare and machine guns on land and the deployment of battleships
and the use of torpedoes at sea. Yet, despite its importance at the
time, it has become very much a forgotten war. The A to Z of the
Russo-Japanese War provides considerable breadth and depth of
coverage based on Japanese, Russian, and Western sources. The
breadth is accomplished through a wide-ranging introduction, a
detailed chronology and an extensive bibliography. The depth comes
in the hundreds of entries on military and political leaders, major
battles and lesser encounters, tactics and strategy as well as the
weaponry and of course the causes and consequences. The result is
the first major reference work on the Russo-Japanese War in English
and the largest in any language.
