Frank Knight presents the struggle with vivid detail, tracing the military campaigns across Manchuria and the defining naval engagement at Tsushima Strait, where Japan's fleet shattered Russia's Baltic Squadron after its legendary voyage halfway around the globe. The narrative illuminates the political miscalculations and military failures of Tsarist Russia alongside the disciplined ambition and strategic brilliance of imperial Japan. Illustrated by Roger Phillips, the book brings this pivotal chapter of early twentieth-century history to life with both authority and accessibility, making it an essential read for enthusiasts of naval and military history alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956450734299,"sku":"2026770001526-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/528b864d-b8b0-43d1-9423-f224c36b35b4.png?v=1783501160","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001526-secondhand-russia-fights-japan","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
