Book description:
In the 19th century, in the lonely passes of Central Asia, Czarist Russia and Victorian England grappled in deadly embrace. Players called it "the Great Game."
"Game" it may have been, but as Russia pushed south, Britain countered with military force and espionage. The British feared for India.
THE GREAT GAME brings back Kipling and KIM. Like Kipling, Hopkirk writes with unabashed relish of spies, soldiers, explorers and travelers, both British and Russian, who waged the first cold war.
"An incredible tale of high adventure and political intrigue." (Publishers Weekly)
