The Great Game (Peter Hopkirk)
Why it’s on the list: A century of British and Russian agents crossing the Hindu Kush and the Pamirs — the original Great Game, reconstructed officer by officer.
Where I saw it: A reply to @typesfast’s question on X, June 5, 2025 — “What’s the best history book you’ve read?” — recovered from that thread and saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Books To Read”. Thread: https://x.com/typesfast/status/1930617097068912787
Filed under a disambiguated title because wiki/books-to-read already holds The Great Game — The Emergence of Wall Street as a World Power (John Steele Gordon), a different book.
