"Japan and the Pacific, and a Japanese View of the Eastern Question" by Manjiro Inagaki is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines Japan’s strategic importance in the Pacific and its political relations with Western powers, notably England and Russia, during a time of global imperial expansion. Inagaki aims to provide insights from a Japanese perspective, emphasizing Japan's potential role in the regional dynamics influenced by these great powers.
