Domestically, it accelerated revolutionary discontent in Russia and enhanced Japan's national image as a modern state. Internationally, it shattered long-standing beliefs in European military dominance; it also marked a significant step on the road to the First World War. For these reasons and others, the war has attracted considerable attention from historians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Hamilton was the military attaché of the British Indian Army serving with the Japanese army in Manchuria during the Russo-Japanese War, he was well placed to publish in 1907 this impressive eye witness account to a military confrontation between a well-known European army and a less-familiar Asian army. Good maps (many in colour), a full index and 600+ pages make this facsimile two-volume set a fine reference for the modern scholar, of a war that is still the classic example of a conflict waged for purely imperialistic motives, a rivalry for the control of Korea and Manchuria and indeed for the mastery of the Far East and China. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 510\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.03 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 09, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344224936243,"sku":"9781474538442","price":71.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ggJAv0ae9B9781474538442.webp?v=1778719188","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/general-sir-ian-hamiltons-staff-officers-scrap-book-during-the-russo-japanese-war-1904-1905-volume-ii-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
