Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an evocative account of Shanghai during the Russo-Japanese War, as experienced by a young ship surgeon. The author deftly weaves together historical context with personal anecdote, providing a unique insider's perspective on this tumultuous period. The narrative captures the sights, sounds, and smells of Shanghai, from the bustling streets to the smoky opium dens. Through the author's eyes, we witness the arrival of war correspondents, the plight of Russian prisoners, and the vibrant, yet dangerous, atmosphere of a city on the front lines. The book offers insights into the complexities of war, the human toll it takes, and the resilience of those caught in its crosshairs. It is a valuable addition to the literature on early 20th-century global conflict, and a poignant reminder of the human stories that often get lost in the annals of history.
