The Russian conquest of Central Asia was perhaps the nineteenth
century's most dramatic and successful example of European imperial
expansion, adding 1.5 million square miles and at least 6 million
people - most of them Muslims - to the Tsar's domains. Alexander
Morrison provides the first comprehensive military and diplomatic
history of the conquest to be published for over a hundred years.
From the earliest conflicts on the steppe frontier in the 1830s to
the annexation of the Pamirs in the early 1900s, he gives a
detailed account of the logistics and operational history of
Russian wars against Khoqand, Bukhara and Khiva, the capture of
Tashkent and Samarkand, and the bloody subjection of the Turkmen,
as well as Russian diplomatic relations with China, Persia and the
British Empire. Based on archival research in Russia, Kazakhstan,
Uzbekistan, Georgia and India, memoirs and Islamic chronicles, this
book explains how Russia conquered a colonial empire in Central
Asia, with consequences that still resonate today.
