Russian-Japanese Confrontation at Sea. Duel of Fleets and Intelligence. 1875—1922

The book by Candidate of Historical Sciences A. G. Zorikhin is dedicated to the history of the formation and development of the naval fleets of Russia and Japan, the processes of operational planning and intelligence support for their combat activities, events of the Russo-Japanese War at sea, and foreign intervention in the Russian Far East.

The documentary framework of the book consists of previously unknown materials from the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, and the National Archive of Japan, as well as two Russian archives.

Why did the 2nd Pacific Squadron perish, what role did Great Britain play in this, could the Russian fleet have prevented the Japanese intervention — answers to these and other questions will be found by both professional historians and enthusiasts.

The book is equipped with rich illustrative material.
