About this product

Product Information

The Great Game was an imperial, political, diplomatic, and military enterprise in which intrepid individuals played for high stakes in a struggle that stretched from the Causasus in the West to Chinese Turkestan and Tibet in the East. The prize was British India. When play first began, the frontiers of Russia and India lay some 2000 miles apart; by the end, the gap had reduced in some places to just 20 miles. Officers on either side, disguised as holy men and horse traders, or advancing in full uniform, delighted in the play as they sought to learn enemy positions, befriend powerful khans, or discover vital secrets. This book should appeal to those interested in espionage and diplomacy, the history of High Asia in Victorian period and superpower relations.

    Unputdownable, riveting history of Britain and Russia in the 19th century

    Really brilliant engaging style and solid research into a very topical branch of recent history. This book is a wonderful fund of background to modern history of the entire European and Asia region. Gripping and unmissable. Wish I'd come across it years ago.

    Superb book

    This book is one a of a series by the specialist historian, peter hopkirk, who writes exclusively about the history of Central Asia. His knowledge is unsurpassed, the stories he tells are fascinating, and his writingis accessible, informative, exciting and immensely readable This, the first of the series, is is responsible for a huge upsurge in interest in this area of the world.I have read three of his books, and keep having to buy new copies as I either give them to people, or lose them to friends who love them as much as I do. The history of this fascinating but little-known region has lessons for all of us today, and the news every evening is filled with place names which resonate from this book and Hopkirk's others. Current events show that we have not learned the lessons from the ...
