Most of it was about the time after he was deposed, his imprisonment, his murder and the forensic work that went on afterwards. Interesting, but the focus was not on what I was trying to find out more about (the Russo-Japanese War, the 1905 Revolution). I have to go to other books on that.

Turns out what I read was only a short story in the original Arsene Lupin book, not that one.
