Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Railway, to Herat and India The remark made by Sir Henry Rawlinson at a meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, a few weeks ago, that "the mere finding the money for such an undertaking" as a Russian railway to India "would be a difficulty of the first magnitude," led me to include in the series of articles on Central Asia I was contributing to the Morning Post, one on the subject containing data I had obtained during my two visits to Russia in 1882, and my conversations there with the designer of the railway, General Annenkoff, who had been instrumental in sending Lessar to survey for the line the country lying between Askabad and Herat. On the appearance of the article, a number of requests were addressed to me to issue it in a pamphlet form, and Arminius Vambery was so good as to express his readiness to append an introduction if I would do so. I have accordingly complied with this wish by revising the article and adding additional Russian data, and trust that it, and what may be called the Russian official map of the project, may have some effect in promoting on the one hand the extension of the Sibi line to at least Quetta, and, on the other hand, the immediate construction of a line through the Euphrates Valley to the Persian Gulf - a project which would have been carried out years ago, had there been less futile and unnecessary discussion over the matter.

Book excerpt: This is a new examination of Halford Mackinder’s seminal global geostrategic work, from the perspective of geography, diplomatic history, political science, international relations, imperial history, and the space age. Mackinder was a man ahead of his time. He foresaw many of the key strategic issues that came to dominate the twentieth century. Until the disintegration of the Soviet Union, western defence strategists feared that one power, or alliance, might come to dominate Eurasia. Admiral Mahan discussed this issue in The Problem of Asia (1900) but Mackinder made the most authoritative statement in "The Geographical Pivot of History" (1904). He argued that in the "closed Heart-Land of Euroasia" was a strategically placed region, with great resources, that if controlled by one force could be the basis of a World Empire. James Kurth, in Foreign Affairs, has commented that it has taken two World Wars and the Cold War to prevent Mackinder’s prophecy becoming reality. In World War I and World War II Germany achieved huge territorial gains at the expense of the Russian empire and the Soviet Union. In the former conflict the Russian empire was defeated by Germany but the western powers insisted that the territorial gains made by Germany, at the treaty of Brest-Litovsk, be given up. In World War II Britain and the US gave material support to Stalin’s totalitarian regime to prevent Nazi Germany gaining control of the territory and resources that might have been a basis for world domination. The west, highly conscious of Mackinder’s dictum (1919) that "Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland," quickly adopted policies to contain the Soviet Union. History has therefore proved Mackinder’s work to be of vital importance to generations of strategic thinking and he remains a key influence in the new millennium. This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of strategic studies and military history and of geopolitics in particular.
