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.

Don’t expect much communication from this seller and they’re not the quickest at dispatching your order with no tracking info supplied , however I’ve used them many times and items always arrive as described, in this case new and sealed for a good price, certainly a reliable Ebayer
