| Summary | "Brown of Moukden: A Story of the Russo-Japanese War" by Herbert Strang is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Russo-Japanese War, focusing on the experiences of the titular character, Ivan Ivanovitch Brown, an Englishman living in Moukden, as well as various other characters involved in the conflict. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, injustice, and survival amid the tumult of war, providing a nuanced perspective by depicting the complexities of both sides. The opening of the novel introduces the vibrant city of Moukden, detailing its sights and sounds as the sun sets. We meet Jack Brown, a young Englishman known as Ivan Ivanovitch to his Russian acquaintances, who navigates the bustling streets filled with a diverse array of people. The narrative quickly takes a darker turn as Jack becomes entangled in the unfair fate of his Chinese friend, Wang Shih, who is wrongfully punished by the corrupt judicial system. As Jack learns about Wang's plight, the tension of impending conflict and a web of personal and political intrigue begins to unfold, setting the stage for the challenges he faces in the war-torn landscape.
