"From Libau to Tsushima" by Evgenii Sigizmundovich Politovskii is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This narrative details the fateful voyage of Admiral Rojdestvensky's fleet from Libau to Tsushima, offering insights into the preparations, challenges, and incidents leading up to one of the most significant naval battles of the Russo-Japanese War. The author, an engineer-in-chief who tragically lost his life in battle, shares his personal observations and experiences, providing a unique perspective on this historical journey. The opening of the book sets the stage for the fleet's departure, detailing the emotional farewells of the crew as they leave Cronstadt, the Emperor's inspections, and the initial challenges they face at sea. Politovskii writes candidly about the fleet's operations, the fears of encountering enemy mines, and the mounting anxieties as they navigate through Europe. As the fleet represents Russia's naval ambitions, the narrative foreshadows the struggles and setbacks they will face on their journey to the East, highlighting the tension aboard the ships and the complexities of naval warfare during this period.
