| Summary |
"This authoritative and original work throws new light upon international relations after the Russo-Japanese War by exploring for the first time the important role of G. E. Morrison. As an Australian correspondent for The Times living in Peking and later as a political adviser to four presidents of the Chinese republic, Morrison's concern for Australian interests often placed him at odds with The Times and the British Government." "In addition to Morrison's diaries, memoranda, correspondence and articles in The Times, Woodhouse examines multi-national scholarly sources, including British, Japanese and American personal and official materials, in order to develop the context in which Morrison carried out personal diplomacy and to delineate the many-sided story into which he has been placed. The centenary period of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and the Russo-Japanese War provides an ideal backdrop against which to re-examine these events."--BOOK JACKET |
