5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Edwardes plays "The Great Game!"
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2023

Michael Edwardes' 1975 Playing The Great Game: A Victorian Cold War is another fine book by a prolific British author. The Great Game is, of course, the historic 19th Century rivalry between Tsarist Russia and the British Empire for power and profit in Central Asia. The phrase itself may have first been used as early as the 1830s. Unlike many other writers on the subject, Edwardes brought with him a lifetime of researching and writing about British India, and thus he brings an intellectual depth to writing on The Great Game that others do not. I highly recommend Playing The Great Game: A Victorian Cold War for your reading pleasure. Cheers and happy reading, Profesor John F Murphy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent telling of the Great Game.

This is one of the best accounts of the great game that I have encountered. The Great Game was a very complex competition between two great powers in an obscure part of the world. Mr. Edwards has done a marvelous job of making it much easier to understand and in the process has also made it alot of fun to read about, although I am sure it was not so much fun for the participants.

The dust jacket is better than the contents. Read Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game instead.
