Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An imperial scandal and the rising sun of a new era of sea powerThis book is sure to fascinate anyone interested in the naval warfare of comparatively modern times, for its narrative encompasses events bizarre, tragic and incompetent. The Russian Rodjdestvensky squadron set out from northern Russia sailing south with a mission to engage Japanese shipping on the high seas, but instead the enemy it first encountered was British fishing vessels engaged in their normal and peaceful business off the Dogger Bank in the North Sea. How the Russians could mistake these fishermen for Japanese warships in that location is almost beyond imagining, nevertheless the Russian warships opened fire upon the trawlers with disastrous consequences both in loss of life and politically. Indeed, the outbreak of war between Russia and Britain was only narrowly averted. After its incredibly long voyage to south-eastern seas, the Russian fleet eventually closed with its true enemy off the island of Tsushima between Korea and Japan and was promptly destroyed in one of the most decisive and significant sea engagements in naval history. This book was compiled from the letters to his wife of Politovsky, Engineer-in-Chief of the Russian fleet, who was an eyewitness to all these events and who was killed in the final battle. Included in this special Leonaur edition are two smaller accounts of the Dogger Bank (or 'North Sea' as it is also termed) Incident.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First British Edition. "Eugene S. Politivsky, Chief engineer of the 2nd Pacific Fleet, was born at Tashkent on November 12th, 1874. He received his education at the Emperor Nicholas I. Naval Engineering School, and left it in 1897. Up to the departure of the fleet for the East he served at the Admiralty at St. Petersburg. He went down in his ship, the battleship Kniaz (Prince) Suvaroff [in the Battle of Tsushima during the Russo-Japanese War] on May 14th, 1905. This diary consists of extracts from his letters to his wife, which it must be understood were not intended for publication. The author was a constructor, not a sailor. This was his first cruise. His views of all that he saw are those of an independent person, bound by no traditions or clannishness. They appear to be absolutely impartial. In addition, through his position on the staff he knew much that remained unknown to others." - Preface. First British Edition published by John Murray in 1906. xvi, 307 pp. Handsome gilt decoration and lettering upon original green cloth. No dust jacket, presumably as issued. Prior owner's name (twice) and clippings affixed to front endpaper. Name on verso of front free endpaper. Prior owner's small address label inside back board. Narrow openings to both inner joints. Foxing to edges and, lightly, to contents. Average wear. A worthy example of this fascinating and informative account.; Sm 8vo.
