At last - back in the library! A secondhand hardback edition that set me back the princely sum of £7.45. What a bargain!
The book is in pretty good condition with the dust jacket intact except for some slightly scuffed corners. It also has that ‘secondhand book from an indeterminate origin’ smell but nothing to be upset about.
The high regard in which this book is held in is best summed up by the comment on the rear of the dust jacket by no less a personage than Patrick Leigh Fermor, the famous travel writer and kidnapper of German Generals.
“The Great Game is absolutely marvellous, the best thing I’ve read for ages”.
High praise indeed!

A great book. I’d also strongly recommend Setting the East Ablaze too (chock full of gaming ideas and scenarios).

Hi Geoff (aka Elliesdad),
Funny you should mention that…. :-)

Oh dear, I see he has written some other very interesting books too. The purchase list has just grown again... ;)!
I'd second what Geoff said. Trespassers on the Roof of the World is another good one (though fewer wargaming angles).
A cracking book David…
As are all the Hopkirk books …
All the best. Aly

Hi nundanket,
Dang it! There is another book to look out for….

Hi Aly,

All the best,
DC
