Overview
Based on intelligence reports provided by the Japanese government, this work on the Russo-Japanese naval war was written as an official study in the years just before World War I and classified “confidential” by the Royal Navy. The two-volume study demonstrates the lessons the war held for the future and shows the essential differences between maritime and continental warfare, while also exploring their interaction.

Editorial Reviews
"This book belongs on any naval historian's bookshelf, and now that it is available in both paperback and electronic form it is available to a wider reading audience.... This work is highly recommended, especially for any naval historian, general reader with an interest in naval or Asian history, or anyone interested in the zenith of the pre-dreadnought period." —Thomo's Hole
