      abstract = {"The Great Game, 1856-1907 presents a new view of the  British-Russian competition for dominance in Central Asia  in the second half of the nineteenth century. Evgeny  Sergeev offers a complex and novel point of view by  synthesizing official collections of documents,  parliamentary papers, political pamphlets, memoirs,  contemporary journalism, and guidebooks from unpublished  and less studied primary sources in Russian, British,  Indian, Georgian, Uzbek, and Turkmen archives. His efforts  amplify our knowledge of Russia by considering the  important influences of local Asian powers. Ultimately,  this book disputes the characterization of the Great Game  as a proto-Cold War between East and West. By relating it  to other regional actors, Sergeev creates a more accurate  view of the game's impact on later wars and on the shape of  post-World War I Asia." -- Publisher's description.},
