Summary
A first-person account of the Russo-Japanese War follows a newspaper man sent incognito through Russia, Siberia, Manchuria, and toward Peking to gather information for his paper. The book describes his experiences in Port Arthur and elsewhere in Manchuria and the Far East, along with the uneasy overlap between secret agents, spies, and correspondents during the siege of Port Arthur. It also reflects on censorship, military secrecy, and the role of foreign journalism in the conflict.
