The Great Siege: The Investment and Fall of Port Arthur (1906)

The Great Siege: The Investment And Fall Of Port Arthur (1906) is a historical account of the siege of Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. The book is written by Benjamin Wegner Norregaard, a Danish journalist who was present during the siege and witnessed the events firsthand. The book provides a detailed description of the military tactics used by both the Japanese and Russian armies during the siege, as well as the daily life of soldiers and civilians trapped within the city. Norregaard also offers insight into the political and strategic motivations behind the conflict, including the desire of both nations to expand their influence in Asia. The Great Siege is a valuable resource for anyone interested in military history or the Russo-Japanese War. It offers a unique perspective on the siege, as Norregaard was one of the few Western journalists present during the conflict. The book is well-researched and provides a comprehensive overview of the events leading up to the siege, the siege itself, and its aftermath.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
