圖書描述

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.

著者簡介

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.

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。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

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。

這本書是從英國人的立場寫的。如果說俄國人貪婪和厚顔無恥，那英國人就隻能用奸詐和僞善來形容瞭。齣人意料的，大博弈終結的原因居然是日本和德國的興起。腐朽的清廷隻能讓這些強盜在周邊和領土上覬覦和橫行而無可奈何，甚或全然無知。此前伊寜見過左宗棠元帥府舊址，今日纔知道從沙俄手中奪迴這些地方是何等不易。不過這本書時間跨度很長，每個片段又寫得不夠精彩，頗有點流水賬的感覺。讀的電子書裏的地圖基本看不清楚，幸而有此前剛讀的《絲綢之路》第287頁的地圖，纔讓這些地理關係比較清楚。

......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...

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.

这一版的副标题被改成了The Struggle for Empire in Central Asia，用了美亚的试读确认是同一本书后购入，只要11块半。代价就是印刷质量，活脱脱一盗版书，居然字号偶有参差不齐，地图也不是很清晰，不过并不妨碍阅读。作者基本上是站在英国的视角讲故事，因为有很多二手材料...

正如书中所说：他们对自己的事业笃信不疑，在那个时代都怀有极高的帝国荣誉感、问心无愧的爱国主义精神和坚定不渝的基督教文明优越感。19世纪的欧洲人，看待中亚地区应该是残暴的可汗，野蛮的村民，没有纳入文明世界的范围，被占领那是必须的。书中讲述了19世纪英俄两国围绕...
