1878. This is an account of the life of Yakoob Beg, a soldier of
fortune, who, without birth, power, or even any great amount of
genius, constructed an independent rule in Central Asia and
maintained it against many adversaries during the space of 12
years. But, while he was an able and courageous man, his internal
policy was marred by his severity and the system of terrorism he
adopted. It is also intended to make the reader aware of the great
merits of China as a governing power. Beg's place in history helps
to illustrate this point. Contents: Geographical Description of
Kashgar; Ethnographical Description of Kashgar; History of Kashgar;
The Conquest of Kashgar by China; the Chinese Rule in Kashgar; The
Birth of Yakoob Beg and Career in the Service of Khokand; The
Invasion of Kashgar by Buzurg Khan and Yakoob Beg; Wars with the
Tungani; Yakoob Beg's Government of Kashgar; Yakoob Beg's Policy
Towards Russia; Yakoob Beg's Relations with England; Yakoob Beg's
Last War with China, and Death; The Chinese Reconquest of Kashgar;
and The Chinese Factor in the Central Asian Question.
