This book explores and exposes previously unknown passages in Eurasian international history. Although the secret war ultimately failed in liberating the Caucasian peoples, the lessons of this Eurasian collaboration were not lost on the United States, which after World War II confronted the Soviet Union just as Japan had earlier. Washington copied the strategy of its former enemy and developed it further. The Eurasian triangle of Russia, the Caucasus, and Japan is a forgotten history of cardinal importance that, stretching from the Russo-Japanese War to World War II, influenced Western Cold War strategies. This book is also the story of a friendship rare in international politics between two unlikely partners unspoiled by political vicissitudes. 606 $aMilitary campaigns 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aEastern question 615 0$aMilitary campaigns. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aEastern question. 676 $a327.47052 700 $aKuromiya$b Hiroaki$0128089 702 $aMamoulia$b Georges 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688601003321 996 $aThe Eurasian Triangle$92036881 997 $aUNINA
