This is an account of the encounter last century between the
British in India and Tsarist Russia in Central Asia which became
known as the "Great Game". When the encounter began the frontiers
of Russia and British India lay some 2000 apart. By the end, the
gap had shrunk in places to 20 miles. As Russia pushed forward her
frontiers young officers found the fulfilment of their dreams in
the chance to escape garrison life and find promotion and glory in
the Caucasus, China and Tibet.;Peter Hopkirk has also written
"Foreign Devils on the Silk Road", "Trespassers on the Roof of the
World" and "Setting the East Ablaze".
