ISBN: 9788373925021 / Polski / Twarda / 2014 / 622 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Dzieje Wielkiej Gry, w której angielscy dyplomaci i szpiedzy ścierali się z rosyjskimi w walce o wpływy w dziewiętnastowiecznym Afganistanie. Autor dowodzi, że Zachód wciąż tak samo nie rozumie Afganistanu, a mimo to próbuje przekonać tamtejsze plemiona do swoich wyobrażeń o godziwym życiu, choć mentalność Afgańczyków w gruncie rzeczy niewiele się zmieniła przez ostatnie sto kilkadziesiąt lat. Jest to zarazem książka o paranoi jako sile sprawczej w polityce: interesy Anglików w Afganistanie były całkowicie niezagrożone, póki nie doszli oni do wniosku, że zagraża...
