Book Reviews of The Great Game: The Struggle for Empire in Central Asia (Kodansha Globe)

Book Review: Riveting historical narrative
Summary: 4 Stars

Despite Hopkirk's occasional cloying English jingoism I still couldn't put this book down. A fascinating account of a little-known conflict in the last great colonial struggle.
