About The Battle Of Tsushima
Product Description In 1905, Japan and Russia were at war. With the Russian Far East Fleet destroyed, the Czar decided to send his Baltic Fleet half way around the world to exact revenge. This mammoth journey took many months and was, in itself, an amazing feat of seamanship. But, at the end of this epic adventure, the Russians were totally overwhelmed and the vast majority of the fleet went to the bottom. There was no alternative for the Czar but to sue for an ignominious peace. The story of the journey and the final battle remain fascinating. The naval battle of Tsushima is one of the forgotten actions of the twentieth century, but it has an immense significance in world history. Review "Any reader who wishes a high level, quick and engaging account of the Battle of Tsushima and the picaresque adventures of the Russian fleet leading up to that fateful day in May 1905, will be satisfied with Carridice's account." --The Northern Mariner "The book, impeccably written by Carradice is really a page-turner." --On The Old Barbed Wire About the Author Phil Carradice is a well-known writer and historian with over sixty books to his credit. A poet, storyteller, and broadcaster, his most recent books are The Cuban Missile Crisis, The Call Up, and the novel Stargazers.
