Based on a wide range of original source material in Russian, Japanese and other languages, this work goes beyond the military and international political grand narratives of the Russo-Japanese war to examine the war's social, cultural, literary and intellectual impact in their historical context.

Recenzje

"[the book is] quite relevant to our contemporary issues despite its concern with the war of almost a century ago." - Journal of Asian Studies

"This book now fills the gap by gathering specialists of both Russia and Japan...succeeds in showing that the Russo-Japanese war left a deep impact on the historical memory of Russians and Japanese alike." - Russian Review
