A companion volume to 'Baron Kaneko and the Russo-Japanese War' (Lulu.com, 2009), this book relates the story of Baron Suematsu's one-man campaign in Europe using the spoken and written word against the dangerous bogey of Yellow Peril which fueled European paranoia about China and Japan and their presumed sinister intentions of world domination.
