In the nineteenth century, Russia participated in two "great games": one, pitted the tsar's empire against Britain in Central Asia. The other, saw Russia, China, and Japan vying for domination of the Korean Peninsula. In this eye-opening account, Sheila Miyoshi Jager argues that the contest over Korea, driven both by Korean domestic disputes and by great-power rivalry, set the course for the future of East Asia and the larger global order.

I will be honest, I did not finish this book. I just really could not. The way that the Joseon dynasty and the Korean people are framed is insulting. As someone who studies East Asia and Russian history, the book is very much telling the story that it wants to tell, while clinging onto the non-fictional aspect.
