The Great Game: A Plea For A British Imperial Policy (1875)

By Walter Millar Thorburn

Book Overview

The Great Game: A Plea For A British Imperial Policy is a book written by Walter Millar Thorburn in 1875. The book is a call to action for British imperialism, arguing that the country should expand its influence and territory around the world. Thorburn argues that this is necessary for Britain to maintain its position as a world power and protect its interests. He also discusses the geopolitical situation of the time, including the rivalry between Russia and Britain in Central Asia, which he calls ""the Great Game"". Thorburn advocates for a more aggressive and proactive approach to foreign policy, including the use of military force if necessary. The book is a reflection of the attitudes and beliefs of many British imperialists of the time, and it provides insight into the thinking behind British imperialism in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
