Jack London: Russo-Japanese War Correspondent
|
Military History |
London was credited with sending out more dispatches on the Russo-Japanese War than any of his fellow correspondents, and he was greeted in San Francisco with news of the success of his novel The Sea Wolf. Jack London died 12 years later, at the age of 40, from multiple medical problems that were directly related to living life on the edge, as he had during his 1904 Korean adventure.
After his return from the Orient, London had written a short essay on his impressions of the Japanese military in which an ominous prediction was made: The Japanese might one day collaborate on an ‘adventure’ which could shatter the long domination of the Western World.
