Aprašymas

They don't make them like Frederick Burnaby anymore. With Russia and Turkey preparing for war and the implications are global. Captain Burnaby of the elite "Blues" regiment heads into the Anatolian interior to assess the Russian threat, the Turkish resistance and the looming clash of the Muslim and Christian worlds.

More than a century later, Burnaby's thousand-mile trek into the twilight of the Ottoman Empire still reads like tale told at end of an epic dinner party. Part witty travelogue, cultural insights, and charming intelligence report, On Horseback Through Asia Minor is a classic of the Great Game that is still as entertaining as the day it was written.
