For Japan against Russia: Confessions of a British Advisor
14.99 €
England has neither permanent friends nor permanent enemies, only permanent interests. And it invariably prefers to fight its enemies with the hands of others. At the beginning of the 20th century, England used Japanese hands to fight Russia in the Far East. The Japanese navy was built in England, its officers were trained in England, and when the Russo-Japanese War broke out in 1904, English advisers were always present at the Japanese command. This book was written by one of them, naval correspondent Henry Charles Sepping-Wright, who took part in the actions of the Japanese fleet at the final stage of the siege of Port Arthur. The book contains interesting details of the organization of service in the Japanese fleet, the life and everyday life of sailors, descriptions of the author's personal meetings with Admiral Togo, impressions from a visit to Port Arthur in the first days after the fall of the fortress. The book was first published in Russian immediately after the end of that war and has since been reprinted only in the pre-revolutionary spelling. This edition is the first in modern Russian.
