Offers the first modern research study in English to provide a history of the Amur, its genesis, its members and its activities in historical context from 1901-1945. Using original sources, Dr Jacob discusses the Amur Society as a key driving force in Japan's embrace of national expansion and analyses the effect of this ultra-nationalist secret society on Japanese history from before the Russo-Japanese War to the defeat of 1945.
