Produktbeschreibung

Clouds above the Hill is one of the best-selling novels ever in Japan, and is now translated into English for the first time. Volume III finds Admiral Togo continuing his blockade of Port Arthur. Meanwhile, a Japanese land offensive gains control of the high ground overlooking the bay as the Russians at last call for a ceasefire. However, on the banks of the Shaho River, the Japanese lines are stretched, but the Russian General Kuropatkin makes a decision to flank the troops to the left and in doing so encounters Akiyama Yoshifuru's cavalry.
