Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and Russia in Asia The subject is certainly one of more than incidental or passing interest. It is well-nigh certain to reappear again and again, until the issue is decided by the final arbitrament of arms. There is an irrepressible conflict between England and Russia for commercial and military supremacy in Central and Western Asia; and all the world looks to see it go on until one of these powers decisively triumphs over the other.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and Russia in Central Asia, Vol. 1 The words used here will be proved true, and the only effectual remedies against the evil are those bold measures from which timid spirits would shrink. The pith of the whole argument is to be found in the fact that we are now strong enough to solve the Central Asian Question wholly in our own favour. Are we to put Off action until the tables are turned and Russia is more prepared than she is at present, while we may have grown less strong? Or shall we finish the business out of hand?

Download or read book England and Russia Face to Face in Asia written by A. C. Yate and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and Russia Face to Face in Asia: Travels With the Afghan Boundary Commission It may possibly be expected that I should say something of the frontier as it has been now demarcated from the Hari Rud to the Oxus. I have, however, several reasons for not touching on this theme: firstly, because I wish this book to be a record of my own personal experiences, and not hearsay reports; and secondly, because I understand that an officer now with the Boundary Commission, and who knows as much of the frontier and its worth as any man, intends on his return to give the world the benefit of his opinion about it. This book is intended to be not only a record of the move ments of the Afghan Boundary Commission, but also a description of travels through country that is practically unknown to the civilised world. I allude, of course, to the route taken by Colonel Ridgeway and his party from N ushki to Herat, and to Badkis generally. A solitary journey from Herat to the Black Sea, after leaving the Commission, enabled me to obtain some information on more than one point of interest to England - such as concerning the demarcation of the russo-persian boundary, which I have given as an Appendix. To suppose that the russo-persian frontier, as recently settled, will long remain a fixture, would be mere self-delusion. I cannot find any distinct definition of the frontier drawn from kalat-i-nadiri to Sarakhs, and it is just in that quarter that rumour credits Russia with further aggressive designs. One of the most significant signs of the times is the proposed construction of a chaussee from Ashka bad to Mashhad. That is the highroad of Russian access to Herat, and it is therefore not surprising that Russia should early develop an interest in it.

Download or read book Russia in Asia written by Alexis Krausse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia in Asia: A Record and a Study 1558-1899 The growth of Asiatic Russia, while of engrossing concern to the political student, the soldier, and the commercial man, has never until now been treated on purely historical lines. My object has been to trace the successive stages of this growth, and to describe the deliberate prosecution of the policy which has largely brought it about. Russia in Asia does not profess to be more than a history, complete yet concise, of Asiatic Russia. In criticising the rival policies of Russia and England, my endeavour has been to present the clear and impar tial deduction that a careful study of those policies yields. The historical chapters are based upon the writings of more than two hundred authorities. The accounts of the numerous military expeditions have, in most cases, been drawn from Russian sources, while my references to the part played by diplomacy are grounded on official correspondence and our own Government publications. I have not occupied space with a full list of the authorities consulted, thinking it sufficient to indicate to those who may desire a closer investigation of the subject, the principal sources where verification and amplification may be found.

This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia and the World a Study of the War and a Statement, of the World-Problems That, Now Confront Russia, and Great Britain No one could say with whom there was war, but there certainly was war with someone. It was a terrible moment when I heard that Germany had declared war on Russia, but it was tempered by the fact that I could hardly believe the news to be true. Still, with the call to arms, my vagabondage in Central Asia came to an end for the time being. So the war came across my little thread of life. This book takes up my story on the day of mobilisa tion on the Altai Mountains. At first I thought of in cluding the whole of the year's experience and thought and impressions of my Central Asian journey in one book with my pictures and thoughts of the war. But I have put aside the earlier matter, as hardly relevant to the immediate question of how the war is affecting Russia and how Russia stands in relation to the nations she pro teets and to the world in general. Some time later I h0pe to return to the Altai village and resume my wanderings where I left off, and, when I have crossed Siberia, may perhaps present a personal impression of the Russian Empire.

This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia in Central Asia in 1889& The Anglo-Russian Question A few words of explanation as to what these chap ters do, and what they do not, profess to be. Their pre tensions are of no very exalted order. They are, in the main, a record of a journey, taken under circumstances of exceptional advantage and ease, through a country, the interest of which to English readers consists no longer in its physical remoteness and impenetrability, but rather in the fact that those conditions have just been superseded by a new order of things, capable at any moment of bringing it under the stern and immediate notice of Englishmen, as the theatre of imperial diplo macy; possibly - quad di avertant omen - as the thresh old of international war. Travel nowadays, at least in parts to which the railway has penetrated, is unattended with risk and is relatively shorn of adventure - a de cadence which separates my story by a wide gulf of division from that of earlier visitors to the Transcaspian regions. These pursued their explorations slowly and laboriously, either in disguise or armed to the teeth, amid suspicious and fanatical peoples, over burning deserts and through intolerable sands. The later traveller, as he follows in comparative comfort the route of which they were the suffering pioneers, may at once admire their heroism and profit by their experi ence. With such forerunners, therefore, I do not pre sume to enter into the most remote competition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
