Krátky popis
For nearly a century the two most powerful nations on earth,
Victorian Britain and Tsarist Russia, fought a secret war in the
lonely passes and deserts of Central Asia. Those engaged in this
shadowy struggle called it 'The Great Game', a phrase immortalized
by Kipling. When play first began the two rival empires lay nearly
2,000 miles apart.By the end, some Russian outposts were within 20
miles of India. This classic book tells the story of the Great Game
through the exploits of the young officers, both British and
Russian, who risked their lives playing it. Disguised as holy men
or native horse-traders, they mapped secret passes, gathered
intelligence and sought the allegiance of powerful khans.Some never
returned. The violent repercussions of the Great Game are still
convulsing Central Asia today.
