GREW, Edwin Sharpe. War in the East. A History of the Russo-Japanese Struggle. London, Virtue and Company, [1905-06].
Six volumes in three, large 8vo. Original illustrated cloth, double-page colour-printed map at the beginning of each volume, battle plans and numerous plates after paintings and photographs; cloth a little marked, occasional light spotting only here and therew, a very good set, and very heavy.
First edition, the version bound in three volumes (there is one in six volumes; probably issued earlier). This impressive textual and pictorial documentation of the war in the Far East with over 1400 pages must be the biggest English language narrative of the Russo-Japanese war of the time. It is often found in very poor condition.
