Back in the day when men were men and Britain ruled the world, the
two great world powers went head to head over control of central
Asia - from the Caucasus to Kabul. This was the stage of open
warfare but also espionage, subterfuge and reckless adventure.
Following on from the derring do of Shooting Leave, John Ure tells
the story of British soldiers, missionaries and mercenaries, horse
traders and opportunists who travelled to make their name in the
Great Game. Praise for Shooting Leave: 'Extremely entertaining ...
deserves to be a surprise Christmas bestseller.' Robert Harris.
'Gripping stuff.' Peter Hopkirk. 'Anyone with red blood in his or
her veins will be stirred by these stories ... The perfect read.'
Country Life.
