"Sino-Japanese Naval War 1894-1895 " Topic

"This new book covers the Sino-Japan Naval War 1894-1895, a little-known part of late 19thC naval history.

The First Sino–Japanese War (1 August 1894 – 17 April 1895) was fought between Qing Dynasty China and Meiji Japan, primarily over control of Korea.

This is a book I am very much interested in. I have the Sino-French book and it is excellent, and I expect this one will be as well.

It is indeed :)

Yalu (1894) is a great battle to do in minature: small fleets yet all kinds of ships. And a real what-if with possibly huge consequences. Had the Chinese had a competent commander and proper shells (i.e. not filled with sand or cement by corrupt officials during production), the Japanese would have been seriously defeated.

I have Olendr's previous three books and am really looking forward to this one.

ForeverGame, you forgot "competent officers and crews".

Got this one for Christmas, looks fantastic from what I have read so far. Lots of photos I haven't seen before and some great line drawings.

Glad you enjoyed it boys.
Thanks for the comments Prince Alberts Revenge.
