Summary:

"A dramatic new telling of the dawn of modern East Asia, placing Korea at the center of a transformed world order wrought by imperial greed and devastating wars"-- [Provided by publisher]
Sheila Miyoshi Jager returns to the three-cornered contest among imperial Russia, China, and Japan over the Korean Peninsula. The battle to colonize Korea upended East Asian geopolitics, set great-power conflicts of the twentieth century in motion, and seeded internal rivalries that persist in the peninsula's division between North and South.
