| Synopsis: |
The Port Hamilton Affair saw the English navy seize the three Nam How Islands from Korea, as well as the harbour between them. Intended to prevent increasing Russian influence in the Pacific, the incident involved Japan, China and Korea in a geopolitical struggle that lasted for almost two years. This is the first book to examine the affair in detail and is based on extensive archival research. Royle places the event within British diplomatic relations of the time and the wider context of Anglo-Russian imperial rivalry. It will appeal to scholars of colonialism and empire, politics and international affairs, island studies, British history, Korean history and Asian studies more generally. |
