”The Battle” is an extraordinarily fine novel of j.a.panese life and the period the time of the j.a.panese-Russian war. Published in France about two years ago, it has during this period run through the remarkable sale of half a million copies. ”The Battle” has for its chief characters a j.a.panese commander, a brilliant young English naval officer, a Frenchman of original talent, and a j.a.panese heroine. It might be called a novel of intrigue. There is one chapter in the book describing a battle which took place during the recent war that is told with such remarkable distinction that the reader will not find it easy to forget. ”The Battle” is undoubtedly one of the best books MILLS & BOON will publish during 1912.
