Item description from seller

"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Hard cover dust wrapper, 562pp, b&w plates. Light wear on edges of dw/boards with small chips at top of dw flap folds; a very good copy. Under the banner of a Holy War, masterminded in Berlin and unleashed from Constantinople, the Germans and the Turks set out in 1914 to foment violent revolutionary uprisings against the British in India and the Russians in Central Asia. It was a new and more sinister version of the old Great Game, with world domination as its ultimate aim. The shadowy and often bloody struggle which followed was fought out between the intelligence services of King, Kaiser, Sultan and Tsar. Here, told for the first time, is the story of the Turco-German jihad of the first world war, recounted through the adventures and misadventures of the secret agents and other participants.
