| Summary |
"Japan continues to provoke conflict by laying claim to Dokdo, ignoring the fact that historically and legally the island is an integral part of the Korean territory. History clearly shows that the Japanese imperialists illegally seized Dokdo for strategic and military purposes during the Japanese-Russo War (1904-1905). But Japanese politicians today tend to ignore the historical reality and teach the young generation faulty, misleading knowledge..." - from the preface. |
