The Great Game pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025
Peter Hopkirk has travelled widely over many years in the regions where his six books are set --- Central Asia, the Caucasus, China, India and Pakistan, Iran and Eastern Turkey. Before turning full-time author, he was an ITN reporter and newscaster for two years, the New York correspondent of the old Daily Express, and worked for nearly twenty years on The Times; five as its chief reporter, and latterly as Middle and Far East specialist. In the 1950s he edited the West African news magazine Drum, sister paper to its legendary South African namesake. Before entering Fleet Street he served as a subaltern in the King's African Rifles --- in the same battalion as Lance Corporal Idi Amin, later to emerge as the Ugandan tyrant. No stranger to misadventure, Hopkirk has twice been held in secret-police cells --- in Cuba and the Middle East --- and also been hijacked by Arab terrorists. His works have been translated into fourteen languages. In 1999 he was awarded the Sir Percy Sykes Memorial Medal for his writing and travels by the Royal Society for Asian Affairs.

For nearly a century the two most powerful nations on earth - Victorian Britain and Tsarist Russia - fought a secret war in the lonely passes and deserts of Central Asia. Those engaged in this shadowy struggle called it 'The Great Game', a phrase immortalized in Kipling's Kim.
When play first began the two rival empires lay nearly 2,000 miles apart. By the end, some Russian outposts were within 20 miles of India.
This classic book tells the story of the Great Game through the exploits of the young officers, both British and Russian, who risked their lives playing it. Disguised as holy men or native horse-traders, they mapped secret passes, gathered intelligence and sought the allegiance of powerful khans. Some never returned. The violent repercussions of the Great Game are still convulsing Central Asia today.

乌兹别克斯坦、土库曼斯坦、哈萨克斯坦。。。中亚一直是个神秘的存在，大博弈年代的英俄争霸，从另一个角度揭开面纱，使得人们更容易理解今天那里所发生的一切：历史总是有着前因后果。英俄当然是为了自身的利益涉足这些地方，但给这些地方带来了什么？是好是坏？这本书读完，...
評分霍普柯克这部作品，看起来归为带学术性的通俗历史写作或科普读物一类可能更合适些。这么说毫无贬低之意，我也不认为哪个比哪个就一定更高。而且全书视野宏大，作者也投入了某种感情，读来不仅有知识上的提升，也令人为之动容。不论是俄罗斯帝国边疆军人的勃勃雄心，还是大英帝...
評分......将近一个世纪的时间里，世界两大强权——维多利亚英国和沙皇俄国——在中亚寂寥的隘口和沙漠展开了一场秘密战。那些战斗和阴谋的亲历者们把这场秘密战称为"大棋局"（the great game），这个词经由kipling的经典小说"Kim"而在当时广为人知。在19世纪初，这场大戏刚刚开场...
評分History is supposed to be boring, it all depends who's telling the story. Peter Hopkirk is definitely one of the best narrators of history.

评分書是好書，佩服作者吊人胃口的能力，但多餘的話也是有點多，而且不看作者都知道是個英國人也寫的。

评分藉當年不同人物的冒險事蹟（為數不少二十齣頭建功立業，三十多被砍死～）講述中亞這段英俄博弈歷史，一旦開始，很難放下的書。
