One of the most satisfying of the 2018 group of Osprey books; Lardas here does an admirable job of explaining the campaign, and he puts his finger on something I've never seen discussed in detail before -- namely, how close-run a thing it was, and how over-stretched Japan was even after the battle. In some ways, as he points out, Russia was the victim of bad luck on top of the inertia and fatalism that proved so fatal. Very good illustrations, too. Highly recommended.

Japan was closed to the world until 1854 and its technology then was literally medieval. Great Britain, France, and Russia divided the globe in the nineteenth century, but Japan was catching up. Its army and navy were retrained by Western powers and equipped with the latest weapons and ships. Japan wanted to further emulate its European mentors and establish a protectorate over Korea, yet Japanese efforts were blocked by Imperial Russia who had their own designs on the peninsula. The Russo-Japanese War started with a Japanese surprise naval attack against an anchored enemy fleet still believing itself at peace. It ended with the Battle of Tsushima, the most decisive surface naval battle of the 20th century. This gripping study describes this pivotal battle, and shows how the Japanese victory over Russia led to the development of the dreadnought battleship, and gave rise to an almost mythical belief in Japanese naval invincibility.
