SPYING FOR EMPIRE: THE GREAT GAME IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH ASIA, 1757-1947

"In this study Rob Johnson re-examines the intricate inner-workings of the British intelligence network, revealing in depth for the first time its true function, scale and achievements. In doing so he pays tribute to the dangerous work carried out by a relatively small number of British and Asian agents, and provides important new insights into the intriguing world of intelligence-gathering and the politics of Empire from 1757 to 1947."--BOOK JACKET.
