Baron Kaneko and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05): A Study in the Public Diplomacy of JapanBaron Kaneko and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05): A Study in the Public Diplomacy of Japan (book)Download: $8.99 Hardcover Print: $59.45 HARDCOVER. This new translation from Japanese tells the story for the first time in English of Baron Kaneko's one-man diplomatic mission to the U.S. during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05), in which he was tasked with winning the hearts and minds of the American people to the Japanese side. He achieved this through personal contacts with major figures including his close friend President Theodore Roosevelt, after-dinner speeches, lectures, press conferences and newspaper interviews, thereby displaying a mastery of the media which seems thoroughly modern in its influence and control.

This volume includes an extensive bibliography, a chronology and an index. (Also available at online retail stores such as amazon, and can be ordered from real bookstores.)
