The Great Game: A Plea For A British Imperial Policy is a book written by Walter Millar Thorburn in 1875. The book is a call to action for the British Empire to adopt a more aggressive imperial policy in order to counter the growing influence of Russia in Central Asia. Thorburn argues that the British Empire needs to take a more proactive role in the region in order to protect its interests and prevent Russia from expanding its influence. He argues that the region is strategically important for Britain's trade routes to India and that the Empire needs to establish a strong presence in Central Asia to maintain its dominance in the region.The book also explores the history of the region and the various political and military strategies that have been employed by both Russia and Britain in their attempts to gain control of Central Asia. Thorburn argues that the British Empire has been too passive in its approach and that it needs to adopt a more aggressive policy in order to maintain its position as a global superpower.Overall, The Great Game: A Plea For A British Imperial Policy is a fascinating historical document that provides insight into the political and military strategies of the British Empire during the 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of imperialism and the struggle for global dominance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
