Zusammenfassung:Dr. Metraux explores the writing of seven correspondents, six American and one Canadian, who reported the war from behind Japanese lines during the Russo-Japanese War : George Kennan, Frederick Palmer, Jack London, Frederick McKenzie, William Jennings Bryan, William Elliott Griffis and Thomas Millard. All agreed that Japan was a modern nation and Korea was impoverished and corrupt. Where they differed in opinion was on Japan's motives for seizing Korea : to be a benevolent big brother or a merciless imperialist employing brutal tactics.

Daniel Metraux wants the reader to beware when reading supposedly factual news. What is Truth?
