Maritime Operations in the Russo-Japanese War, 1904-1905, Том 1

This work first appeared in January 1914 as a confidential publication of the Intelligence Division of the (British) Admiralty War Staff. Naval historian Corbett (1854-1922) took an approach that dealt not with "minute details and themes, such as the effect of shot on armor, but a continuous narrative that demonstrated the interrelationship of land and sea events as they impinged on each other in conception, execution, and results. Thus political objectives, geographic factors, and the machinery of government all could be seen working together as part of a whole." (from the new introduction by John B. Hattendorf and Donald M. Schurman) Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
