Publisher's Synopsis
This epic poem provides a vivid and emotional account of the Russo-Japanese War, a pivotal conflict that marked a turning point in the balance of power in East Asia. Oakley's lyrical verse captures the heroism, tragedy, and sacrifice of the soldiers on both sides of the conflict, and her portrayal of the long-lasting impact of war on civilian life is particularly moving. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Russian or Japanese history, or in the art of poetry more broadly.
