O knihe
The Kurils, the border islands in the north of Japan, have been in dispute for many centuries. Taken as reprisals by Russia at the end of World War 2, they were eventually returned in the year 2056 in exchange for favourable trade deals across the Northern Pacific region. Just over a century later, the islands were taken again, by the Russians, and the entire population was relocated to Hokkaido, the northernmost of the Japanese Home Islands. This is the story of the deception, and the duplicitous method used by the Russians to steal and keep the islands and their plan for the newly discovered oil riches that lie below. What the Russians did not factor in, in their carefully created plan, was the meteoric rise of the career of Jackson Nakagawa; the man who was to eventually become known as the most fearsome and innovative ground forces commander for more than 200 years. Never overawed by any assignment, his innovative methodology was to see the decisive defeat of the Russians in what was to become known as the Border Wars; but what no one could foresee was the war that was to come just a few short years later.
