Summary "Under the Mikado's Flag, or Young Soldiers of Fortune" by Edward Stratemeyer is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the adventures of two young Americans, Gilbert Pennington and Ben Russell, during the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in Korea and Manchuria. With its focus on military exploits and the complexities of international relations, the book showcases the boys' quest to navigate political turmoil while seeking justice against a fraudster named Ivan Snokoff. The opening of the narrative introduces Gilbert Pennington in Port Arthur, where he is trying to track down Ivan Snokoff, who has swindled the Richmond Importing Company out of a large sum of money. As tension mounts in the region with the imminent war between Russia and Japan, Gilbert navigates various challenges, including dodging Russian authorities and striking deals with local informants. His desire to bring Snokoff to justice becomes increasingly complicated amid the escalating international conflict, and he soon finds himself entangled in a web of intrigue that highlights the fears and animosities of the time. The rich backdrop of the unfolding war serves as a dramatic setting for Gilbert's journey and the friendships he must rely on for support. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
