Excerpt from The Truth About the War
Mr. J. Taburno, a civil engineer by profession and a special correspondent of the Novoe Vremia, went about the middle of December, 1904, to the theater of military operations, for the purpose, as stated in the brief preface of his work, of "becoming acquainted with the true condition of our troops in Manchuria, and presenting it in its true light." In April, 1905, he placed before the public the results of his observations in a book entitled "The Truth About the War," which in addition to great literary merit, is invaluable as an accurate, unprejudiced, impartial account of the operations near Mukden, as a sincere and conscientious research into the cause of Russian failure, giving a clear insight into the true condition of affairs.
In the Russki Invalid of June 25th, General Parensoff, of the Russian General Staff, highly commends Mr. Taburno's book his opinion being shared by "F. M.," likewise a general of the General Staff, editor of the Russki Invalid, and concludes with the words, "This is a remarkable, an excellent book."
His other works, "Review of the Financial and Economical Condition of Russia for the Last Twenty Years," a thorough and conscientious research in the domain of political economy, "The Reminiscences of an Insurgent," treating on the Revolution of Poland, and other stories, are likewise of great merit.
Mr. Taburno is not an advocate of peace and gives good reasons why it should not be concluded.
