Articoli correlati a On Secret Service East of Constantinople: The Plot...
Under the banner of a Holy War, masterminded in Berlin and unleashed from Constantinople, the Germans and the Turks set out in 1914 to foment violent revolutionary uprisings against the British in India and the Russians in Central Asia. It was a new and more sinister version of the old Great Game, with world domination as its ultimate aim. The shadowy and often bloody struggle which followed was fought out between the intelligence services of King, Kaiser, Sultan and Tsar. It was to spill over into Persia, Afghanistan, the Caucasus and Central Asia, and be felt as far afield as the USA and China. This is the extraordinary story of the Turco-German jihad of World War I, recounted through the adventures and misadventures of the secret agents and others who took part in it.

Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Book Condition: Very Good. First Edition (Oxford paperback). First Printing. All of Hopkirk's books are either directly, or indirectly related to "The Great Game". For those that don't know, this is a loosely defined period spanning the 19th century to the early 20th. To give a very brief explanation, it is the overt and covert actions taken by the British to keep India stable against the encroaching Imperial Russians. The beginning of the book deals with the efforts of WWI Germany to sway Muslim populations into holy war versus the British and Russians. Obviously the alliance between the Germans and the last remnants of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) is covered. There are many things that Hopkirk asserts that I was unaware of including the desire of the Germans to build the "Baghdad Express": a direct rail line through Turkey to the Middle East. The Kaiser visiting the Middle East to much pomp and pageantry. Also covered are several missions to destabilize India including the attempt to sway the Afghans into Jihad. It is the classic "Great Game" being played by a new element, and Hopkirk does his typical masterful job describing the events. The last part of the book deals with the Caucuses; The various governments that appeared in the Caucuses during the revolution period, The fate of Stepan Shaumian and the 26 Commissars, The Dunsterforce attempting to defend Baku from the Army of Islam. Hopkirk delves deeply into some of the players on the British side and recaptures some of the magic from his previous books doing so. Eventually the book focuses on Teague-Jones, a man who literally disappeared after the events covered in this book. The conclusion being that Mr. Teague-Jones died in anonymity; the last player of "The Great Game". Codice articolo 000595
