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 $aRusso-Japanese War, 1904-1905 606 $aEastern question (Far East) 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns$zEastern Front 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zJapan 607 $aEastern Front (World War (1914-1918))$2fast 607 $aJapan$2fast 610 $aWorld War One, World War Two, Japan, Russia, the Caucasus, Georgia, the Russo-Japanese War. 615 0$aRusso-Japanese War, 1904-1905. 615 0$aEastern question (Far East) 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 676 $a327.47052 700 $aKuromiya$b Hiroaki$0128089 702 $aMamulia$b Giorgi 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798105703321 996 $aThe Eurasian Triangle$92036881 997 $aUNINA
