Russia, overly confident of its maritime pre-eminence, expected to give the recently modernised and inexperienced Japanese Navy an easily delivered and harsh lesson in conflict at sea, but instead paid a heavy price for its hubris. The author of the principal work in this special Leonaur edition served as an officer on board the \u003cem\u003eNovik\u003c\/em\u003e in 1904 and describes the actions which led to her destruction in vivid detail from first-hand experience. Readers familiar with Semenoff's work on the period will discover interesting corroborating information in these pages. This account is supported by an essay on the subject, extracted from Cassell's history of the war, and has been enhanced with photographs and illustrations which did not accompany the original publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 12, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46939421343919,"sku":"9781782829300","price":48.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/7314\/1679\/files\/hUNSLjfr8d9781782829300.webp?v=1779395623","url":"https:\/\/valuevaultclub.myshopify.com\/products\/the-noviks-war-at-sea-the-imperial-russian-protected-cruiser-and-the-russo-japanese-war-1904-5-the-novik-by-a-p-steer-events-surrounding-the-l-hardcover","provider":"Value Vault Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
