Overview: The original Great Game (1800-1917), the clandestine struggle between Russia & Britain for mastery of Central Asia, has long been regarded as one of the greatest geopolitical conflicts in history. The prize, control of the vast Eurasian heartland, was believed by some to be key to world dominion. Teeming with improbable drama & exaggerated tensions, the conflict featured soldiers, mystics, archeologists & spies, among them some of history’s most colorful characters. While the original Great Game ended with the Russian Revolution, the geopolitical struggles in Central Asia continue to the present day. Beginning with the soldiers & propagandists of the Victorian era, Tournament of Shadows chronicles nearly two centuries of conflict in the Eurasian heartland, conflict that has spawned wars in Afghanistan, the invasion of Tibet & economic scrambles for control of Caspian oil. Karl E. Meyer, formerly of the NY Times, & his wife, Shareen Blair Brysac, formerly of CBS News, have created a vivid narrative that brings to life the engaging personalities in this colorful conflict: Russia’s greatest explorer, Nicholas Przhevalsky, who died trying to shoot his way to Lhasa; Nicholas Roerich, the Russian artist & mystic who searched for fabled Shambhala under the patronage of Henry Wallace, the American Secretary of Agriculture; Philadelphia socialite Brooke Dolan, like a figure out of Hemingway, who reached Lhasa as an OSS operative; SS Captain Ernst Schäfer, who led an expedition to Tibet in the late 30s in an attempt to confirm Nazi racial theories; Wm Rockhill, the first American to befriend & advise a Dalai Lama; Sarat Chandra Das, the Bengali explorer who went to Lhasa in the secret service of the Raj. Revealing a wealth of new material that has never before been published, Meyer & Brysac have written a sweeping history of a riveting tournament, a two-century joust with political & economic implications that remain topical today.
