The Great Game (Peter Hopkirk book)

''The Great Game: The Struggle for Empire in Central Asia'' is a historical book by Peter Hopkirk.
==Description==
In this work, the author relates the story of a time best described by Captain Arthur Connolly, of the East India Company before he was beheaded in Bokhara for spying in 1842, as "The Great Game".
The Great Game was played between Tsarist Russia and Victorian Britain for supremacy in Central Asia. At stake was the security of India, key to the wealth of the British Empire. When play began early in the 19th century, the frontiers of the two imperial powers lay two thousand miles apart, across vast deserts and almost impassable mountain ranges; by the end, only 20 miles separated the two rivals.〔John Stevenson, Amazon.com Review, 2010〕
