The book recounts one of the most important episodes of the so-called "Great Game"—the struggle for dominance and influence in Central Asia waged by the Russian and British empires for much of the 19th century. Along with the author's text, it features extensive documents from the period: reports, maps, letters, and diaries of expedition participants and political figures. Photographs from the archives of the Russian Geographical Society serve as illustrations.
