Description

The Russian Conquest of Central Asia A Study in Imperial Expansion, 1814-1914 by Alexander Morrison. This comprehensive history explores one of the nineteenth century's most significant examples of European imperial expansion. From the early conflicts on the steppe frontier to the annexation of the Pamirs, Morrison provides a detailed account of Russia's military and diplomatic campaigns against various Central Asian states. The book examines the logistics and operational history of Russian wars, as well as diplomatic relations with China, Persia, and the British Empire. Based on archival research in several countries, including Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, and India, Morrison sheds light on how Russia conquered a colonial empire in Central Asia, with consequences that still resonate today. 639 pages, paperback binding.
