The Great Game pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 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.

读后感
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，...
评分小时候看《新闻联播》时常常会听到比如“高加索”“克什米尔”等等和各种分不太清楚的叫“斯坦”的国家们，这些听着耳熟能详但其实到现在依旧不甚了了。之前并没有读过相关题材的书，所以暂时说不上这本书写得算不算好，在书的前面很多章大部分都是这么开头的——一个精神熠熠...
评分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...
评分......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...

藉當年不同人物的冒險事蹟（為數不少二十出頭建功立業，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。

评分这本书是从英国人的立场写的。如果说俄国人贪婪和厚颜无耻，那英国人就只能用奸诈和伪善来形容了。出人意料的，大博弈终结的原因居然是日本和德国的兴起。腐朽的清廷只能让这些强盗在周边和领土上觊觎和横行而无可奈何，甚或全然无知。此前伊宁见过左宗棠元帅府旧址，今日才知道从沙俄手中夺回这些地方是何等不易。不过这本书时间跨度很长，每个片段又写得不够精彩，颇有点流水账的感觉。读的电子书里的地图基本看不清楚，幸而有此前刚读的《丝绸之路》第287页的地图，才让这些地理关系比较清楚。
评分书是好书，佩服作者吊人胃口的能力，但多余的话也是有点多，而且不看作者都知道是个英国人也写的。
