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of documents, parliamentary papers, political pamphlets, memoirs, contemporary journalism, and guidebooks from unpublished and less studied primary sources in Russian, British, Indian, Georgian, Uzbek, and Turkmen archives.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. 000693675 651_0 $$aRussia$$xRelations$$zGreat Britain. 000693675 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xRelations$$zRussia. 000693675 651_0 $$aAsia, Central$$xForeign relations. 000693675 651_0 $$aAsia, Central$$xHistory. 000693675 651_0 $$aEast Asia$$xForeign relations. 000693675 651_0 $$aEast Asia$$xHistory. 000693675 85200 $$bgen$$hDK67.5.G7$$iS4413$$i2013 000693675 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:693675$$pGLOBAL_SET 000693675 980__ $$aBIB 000693675 980__ $$aBOOK
