The Tsar's Last Armada: The Epic Voyage to the Battle of Tsushima by Constantine Pleshakov

The Tsar's Last Armada: The Epic Voyage to the Battle of Tsushima by Constantine Pleshakov is a decent history of the Russian defeat in this battle of the Russo-Japanese war. There isn't much analysis this is mostly a narrative history. Archival research was done in Russian, English and French archives. The one major handicap is the author's English. Full points for trying to write a book in English when it is not the author's native-language but his editor really let him down. If you can get past the English there is a decent book here but it's still frustrating.
