The Russo-Japanese War in Global Perspective: World War Zero, Volume I de John Steinberg

The Russo-Japanese War in Global Perspective: World War Zero, Volume I: History of Warfare, cartea 29

Editat de John Steinberg, Bruce Menning, David Schimmelpenninck van der Oye, David Wolff, Shinji Yokote
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 apr 2005
This volume examines the Russo-Japanese War in its military, diplomatic, social, political, economic, and cultural context. Through the use of research from newly opened Russian and little used Japanese sources the editors assert that the Russo-Japanese War was, in fact, World War Zero, the first global conflict in the 20th century. The contributors demonstrate that the Russo-Japanese War, largely forgotten in the aftermath of World War One, actually was a precursor to the catastrophe that engulfed the world less than a decade after the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth. This study not only further reveals the weaknesses of Imperial Russia but also exhibits Japan as it entered its fateful 20th century.
