"The Truth About Port Arthur" by E. K. Nozhin is a historical account written in the early 20th century, detailing the events surrounding the siege of Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War. The book presents an insider's perspective on the military strategies and blunders made by Russian officials during the defense of Port Arthur, highlighting the confusion and challenges faced by the besieged forces and their leaders, particularly General Smirnoff. The opening of the book introduces readers to the chaos that erupted at Port Arthur on the eve of war, illustrating the unpreparedness and disarray of the Russian defense, as rumors of an impending conflict finally culminated in a fierce bombardment by Japanese forces. Nozhin, an accredited war correspondent, recounts the critical moments of the siege from his unique vantage point, emphasizing the internal struggles faced by the garrison leaders, notably the contradictions and mismanagement by commanders like Stössel. His narrative serves as both a gripping eyewitness account and a critical indictment of the military hierarchy, setting the stage for a detailed analysis of the ensuing catastrophe.
