pwithnall reviewed The great game by Peter Hopkirk (Kodansha globe)
Review of 'The great game' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A long read, but it manages to maintain interest through to the end. Not entirely sure of the author’s bias, since it’s all presented from the English side (and apparently not many Russian references are available). Gives some fantastic images of battles being directed by an officer on horseback sipping champagne to sustain himself.
