The Rise and Fall of Russian and Chinese Influence Centred on the Chinese Eastern Railway: South Manchuria Railway, Harbin Office, Transport Section, 1928
The Rise and Fall of Russian and Chinese Influence Centred on the Chinese Eastern Railway — 1928
A study of the contest of Russian and Chinese influence along the Chinese Eastern Railway, compiled by the Transport Section of the Harbin Office of the South Manchuria Railway and published in 1928. The Chinese Eastern Railway, running across northern Manchuria, was for decades a focus of competing Russian and Chinese interests, and this volume traces the waxing and waning of those rival forces along its line.
The South Manchuria Railway's research apparatus was among the most thorough institutional intelligence operations of its day, and a study issued from its Harbin transport section carries the weight of a primary corporate and political source. It addresses the strategic and economic rivalry along one of the great railways of the Northeast at a moment of acute attention to the question, on the eve of the upheavals of the following years.
As a primary source on railway geopolitics and the Russo-Chinese contest in northern Manchuria, the volume is of clear value to historians of the South Manchuria Railway sphere, of the Chinese Eastern Railway, and of Northeast Asian affairs. Institutional studies of this kind were produced for restricted use and survive only sparingly.
A genuine research document of the period, well suited to a serious collection of South Manchuria Railway and East Asian historical materials.
Offered by KT Vintage, drawing on decades of trusted international sales to discerning collectors and institutions across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
