SUMMARY

From the romantic conflicts of the Victorian Great Game to the war-torn history of the region in recent decades, Tournament of Shadowstraces the struggle for control of Central Asia and Tibet from the 1830s to the present. The original Great Game, the clandestine struggle between Russia and Britain for mastery of Central Asia, has long been regarded as one of the greatest geopolitical conflicts in history. Many believed that control of the vast Eurasian heartland was the key to world dominion. The original Great Game ended with the Russian Revolution, but the geopolitical struggles in Central Asia continue to the present day. In this updated edition, the authors reflect on Central Asia's history since the end of the Russo-Afghan war, and particularly in the wake of 9/11.Brysac, Shareen Blair is the author of 'Tournament of Shadows The Great Game And the Race for Empire in Central Asia', published 2006 under ISBN 9780465045761 and ISBN 0465045766.
