Richard Barry, an American correspondent with the Japanese army, describes the investment, siege and capture of Port Arthur. He writes of the silent city, the invisible army in its trenches, battalions advancing up terraced hills under fire, wire too thick to cut, and the commanders and men who paid for the fortress in enormous losses.
A vivid eyewitness record of a siege that foreshadowed the trench warfare of 1914. Download the free EPUB.
