WELLS David (ed.)

Russo-Japanese war in cultural perspective, 1904-05 / edited by David Wells and Sandra Wilson. - Basingstoke, UK: Macmillan Press, 1999 - 213p.

Based on a wide range of sources in Russian, Japanese and other languages, this collection of essays examines the war's social, cultural, literary and intellectual impact in its historical context. Although the military history of the war is covered the primary focus is on the symbolic meaning of the conflict which, for the first time in modern history, saw an Asian nation competing with a European country and overturning the balance of power.
