Originally published in 1899, The Heart of Asia is a definitive
history of Central Asia from pre-history to the contemporary
machinations of the Russian empire. The book is valuable not only
because of the quality of the historical work on the early period,
but also because of the unique picture that it gives of
contemporary views on the potential for Anglo-Russian conflict, at
a time when the Russian Empire was Britain's closest rival for
Asian hegemony. Scholars of modern Russia and Central Asia will
find much that echoes, and indeed drives, more recent events.
Includes 34 illustrations and two maps.
