Book Reviews of Mission to Tashkent
Book Review: Better than fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
There are two excellent reasons for reading this book. The first is that it is it an extraordinary story, well told. The second is that it dovetails beautifully with other memoirs and accounts of the time, notably Narzaroff's Hunted Through Central Asia and many of the superb books written by or (as Mission) introduced by Peter Hopkirk . If you want to know what it was like to be an Englishman alone amid the shifting malignant currents of the Russian Revolution, hunted by the secret police, living on your wits yet trying to carry out a mission, this is the book for you. Better than fiction.
