A fascinating account of a conflict which is often neglected, but had lasting international impact, with detailed analysis of the major technical aspects of the battleships, crew training and battle experiences.
The first major clash between a European and Asian state in the modern era signalled the beginning of Japan's rise as a major power on the world stage. Watched by the rest of the world's superpowers, this incredibly violent war was disastrous for the Russians who, despite their superior numbers, were defeated by the Japanese underdogs in a spectacular fashion.
Here, military expert Dr. Robert Forczyk covers the key technical elements of firepower, protection, maneuverability and communications for each side in detail. Accompanied by first-hand accounts and specially commissioned artwork, this compact volume explains and illustrates this historically significant duel.
