He has also written biographies of Kublai Khan, Marco Polo and Empress Wu, as well as volumes on China and Japan in the Makers of the Modern World series. Klappentext The life of the military hero who destroyed the Tsar's navy and so became an international celebrity. Zusammenfassung This biography spans Japan’s sudden, violent leap out of its self-imposed isolation and into the 20th century. Delving beyond Togo’s finest hour at the Battle of Tsushima, it shines new light on his reluctant celebrity in America and the accumulation of peacetime experience that forged a wartime hero.
