Seven lives for the Emperor. War comes from the East.

Japan has always been incomprehensible to Europe—a mysterious, distant land inhabited by people quite unlike Europeans, where an emperor officially descended from the sun goddess Amaterasu reigned supreme. But in the 20th century, the Japanese Empire became a real player on the world stage. It unleashed the Russo-Japanese War, seeking to establish hegemony in the Far East, successfully supported the Entente in World War I, and drenched China and Korea in blood. By creating the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, it brought enormous suffering to the peoples of the region. There was probably no crime that the proud samurai, fighting in the name of their emperor, did not commit. How did this confrontation end? Did it end at all?

Leonid Mlechin's new book answers these and other questions.
