First edition, first printing, 2011. No obi, a very clean book. (However, there is one small scratch on the back cover.) "Reminiscences of the Russo-Japanese War" Ian Hamilton / Yasushi Matsumoto Price: ¥3000 This book is a memoir of the Russo-Japanese War by Lieutenant General Ian Hamilton, a British military observer who also appears in "Clouds Above the Hill." Incidentally, Ryotaro Shiba commented on the author, "He was more like a professor of poetics than a soldier, and his writing was filled with abundant concrete facts." #IanHamilton #Ian_Hamilton #YasushiMatsumoto #Yasushi_Matsumoto #book #history/JapaneseHistory
