Naval Conflict-North Pacific 1904-5: Two Russian Accounts of the Russo-Japanese War at Sea-The Russian Navy in the Russo-Japanese War & Battle of the
(A conflict of empires in the modern age At the turn of ...)
A conflict of empires in the modern age At the turn of the 20th century Imperial Russia clashed with Imperial Japan. Russia's view of itself was as a gigantic world power able to secure any of its holdings and all but immune from the dangers threatened by Japanese expansionism. This ultimately led to war, and the outcome of the ensuing conflict was a sobering shock to Russia's fundamental incompetence, while the easy Japanese victory gave that nation the false impression that it was a great naval power able to achieve more than was actually the case. It has been suggested that this misconception sowed the seeds of Imperial Japan's engagement and ultimate defeat during the Second World War. This interesting period of military history has its ardent aficionados and this special Leonaur edition, featuring two books by noted Russian historian Nicolas Klado, will be a welcome addition to their libraries. The first title examines the vessels and organisation of the magnificent, but destined to be humiliated, Russian navy during the Russo-Japanese War and the second title takes the reader through the pivotal Battle of the Sea of Japan from the Russian perspective. Highly recommended to all those fascinated by naval conflict and by this subject in particular. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

To face page 162. have taken these phantom vessels seriously into consideration. The Russian is naturally a dreamer, for this is a failing which is characteristic of our race. Do we not see numbers of our educated classes buying wretched lottery tickets with their last pound, and then wasting their lives in dreaming that they will win the first prize? They fold their hands, buoying themselves up with idle hopes; and thus they fail to see how much they miss which would be for their good, and which they could easily--so very easily--secure. They should now abandon their dreams and set seriously to work! In military matters, at any rate, it is absolutely impossible that we can give ourselves up to dreams of the kind, and, above all, when we are actually at war. Do not let us, therefore, fall into any such error, or further trouble ourselves about these imaginary vessels. If I have spoken of them it is simply because of the persistent rumours which were circulated on the point, and also not to lose the opportunity of once again declaring that I do not in any way base my arguments on any such vain delusions. Which ships of the Baltic Fleet should form part of the third squadron? I do not wish to speak of anything but the resources which we actually possess--anything but the ships which we actually have. In the first place let us see if we can draw any reinforcements from the Baltic fleet! For this purpose we will take the General Navy Annual (1) for 1904 and open it at page 234. Let us leave out of consideration the battleships Emperor Paul /.and Andrew Pervozvanny, which are not yet launched, and with which we will deal later on. We then come to the battleship Slava, launch...
