This is a masterly telling of one of the great conflicts of the nineteenth century: the struggle between Britain and Russia for control of Central Asia. It was a contest that inadvertently brought to light all the natural and cultural wonders of inner Asia, which took on new life after the Russian Revolution as the Americans joined in, and which continues today in the covert attempts to master the Caspian Sea and its oil riches.
