About This Book

A detailed account that opens with historical, geographical, and cultural surveys of China, Japan, and Korea, describing their societies, institutions, and customs; it then examines the political tensions and military preparations that produced a modern war in East Asia. The narrative traces campaigns on land and sea, recounting early hostile acts, the sinking of a transport, major naval engagements between contemporary warships, and assaults on coastal fortresses, while assessing strategy, conduct, and reported brutality toward combatants and civilians. Concluding chapters synthesize outcomes and lessons and the text is supplemented by illustrations and chapter notes.
