Russia Against India: The Struggle For Asia (1900) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165678730)

Russia Against India: The Struggle For Asia is a book written by Archibald Ross Colquhoun in 1900. The book explores the geopolitical rivalry between Russia and Britain for control over the Asian continent, with a particular focus on the role of India in this struggle. Colquhoun argues that Russia's expansionist policies in Central Asia and its attempts to gain access to the Indian Ocean pose a threat to British interests in the region. He also examines the cultural and religious differences between the two nations and how these have contributed to the tensions between them. The book provides a historical perspective on the Great Game, a term used to describe the rivalry between Russia and Britain in Central Asia during the 19th century. Russia Against India is an important work for understanding the complex geopolitical dynamics of the time and the lasting impact of this rivalry on the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
