The Small Players of the Great Game (eBook, ePUB)

The Settlement of Iran's Eastern Borderlands and the Creation of Afghanistan

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book deals with the 19th century Anglo-Russian Great Game played out on the territorial chessboard of eastern and north-eastern parts of the waning Persian empire. The Great Game itself has been written about extensively, but never from a Persian angle and from the point of view of the local players in that game. Looking at the territorial consequences of the Great Game for the local players is a unique approach, which deserves a special place in the studies of history, geography, politics and geopolitics of the age of modernity.
