By the start of the twenteith century both Britain and Russia,
suspicious of Imperial Germany, decided to stabilize relations and
replace their rivalry in Central Asia - the 'Great Game' - with
rapprochement. Jennifer Siegel demonstrates that reality in the
field told a different story: the momentum of imperial rivalry,
spiced by oil and railway development, could not be arrested and
various interests on both sides continued to stoke the fire with
increasing aggressiveness. By 1914, Britain and Russia were on the
brink of war once again, to be saved only by the outbreak of the
First World War. This book is a ground-breaking and original study,
based on hitherto unseen archival sources in Moscow and St
Petersburg and original research in London.
