The Great Game

'Peter Hopkirk is truly the Laureate of the Great Game' Jan Morris

Peter Hopkirk

'Brilliant' Patrick Leigh Fermor, Daily Telegraph 'There can be few more fascinating subjects, or few authors better qualified to write about it' Fitzroy Maclean, Independent 'Immensely readable and magisterially detached. A gripping and impressive narrative of adventure and war' Financial Times 'Hopkirk's brilliant and engrossing account remains the classic text on how to handle the various and often dangerous people who inhabit the region, fill of tips and warnings for the Game's current players.' BBC History Magazine 'Fans of political history and adventure are in for a treat as publishing house John Murray reissues its Peter Hopkirk series' Sian Gibson, Geographical Magazine
