Historical dictionary of the Russo-Japanese War

About this book

"The centennial of this important but neglected conflict is an appropriate time to present this Historical Dictionary of the Russo-Japanese War, which provides a considerable breadth and depth of coverage based on Japanese, Russian, and Western sources. There is a detailed chronology; wide-ranging introduction; dictionary containing hundreds of entries on military and political leaders, major battles and lesser encounters, tactics and strategy, weaponry, and causes and consequences of the war; and an extensive bibliography. The result is the first major reference work on the Russo-Japanese War in English and the largest in any language."--Jacket.
