I'm a history buff. However, I've got to admit that the subject of this book is one that I am all but completely ignorant about.
Japan is half a world away from where all, or almost all, of the land fighting occurred (there were naval conflicts in the Atlantic Ocean (primarily), however), which is
Europe. What possible connection could Japan have had with the "Great War" (World War I)?
About the only connection that I can think of is that in the Russo-Japanese War, not very long before World War I, Japan devastated the Russian naval fleet. That, in large part, led Russia to sue for peace. A weakened Russia, not very many years later, was a belligerent in World War I. Yes, that is a very tenuous connection.
I'm sure that this present Palgrave Macmillan daily deal book will greatly enlighten us on the question.
It's been a while since I posted a PM daily deal (BTW--PM recently admitted what we already knew--they actually don't post a new deal
every day; however, they still call it a "daily deal"). Reason being: I haven't seen any of their "daily deals," lately, that have caught my attention. Today's is different.
The price information . . . . the ebook is only
$9.99; the listprice [
sic] is $69.99. That's a savings of a marvelous 86% (but pretty typical of these PM deals). Amazon has the book priced at $67.97.
I think that the ebook is available only in ePub. However, it is DRM-free.
This book is a
festschrift--a collection of articles or chapters by several different individuals, rather than the typical book written by one person, with the cooperation of maybe one or two other, people. The editors of this present tome are Antony Best and Oliviero Frattholillo.
Being an academic-type book (as have been all of the PM Daily Deals, that I have seen, at least), ratings are scarce. I suggest that you avail yourself of the free preview accessible at
the PM webpage for the book, and/or at
Amazon and/or
Google, in order to judge for yourself the quality of this offering.
