Mapping the Great Game by Riaz Dean
The fascinating story of the pioneers who explored vast regions of Central Asia, India and Tibet to create maps, and spy out the country for military and geographical reasons.
The book is well researched and a fascinating readI highly recommend this book to general readers as well as anyone with a passing interest in mapping in general or in the Great Game. * ANZMaps (Australian & New Zealand Map Society) *
There are compelling elements to this book and it certainly provides a solid introduction to the history of ‘The Great Game’ and the Great Trigonometric Survey of India. The narrative thread remains clear throughout and keeps up a steady pace. * The Cartographic Journal *
