| Summary | "The Russian Army and the Japanese War, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by A. N. Kuropatkin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work provides an in-depth analysis of the Russian military's policies and strategies during the Russo-Japanese War, delving into the reasons behind Russia's military reversals in the conflict. Focused on the tactical and organizational aspects of the military, Kuropatkin explores how shortcomings in leadership, training, and logistics contributed to the failures on the battlefield. At the start of this volume, the author reflects on the historical context leading up to the war, emphasizing the lack of adequate tactical preparation among Russian troops. He discusses the lessons learned from past conflicts, such as the Crimean War, and highlights the challenges faced by commanders due to insufficient information about enemy forces. As the narrative unfolds, Kuropatkin outlines specific issues, such as logistical difficulties and the importance of adapting to the unfamiliar terrain of Manchuria, setting the stage for a critical examination of the military's performance throughout the campaign.
