Index  aUnder 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. As the storm clouds of the First World War loomed, German hawks dreamed of driving the British out of India and creating a vast new Teutonic empire in the East, using their Turkish ally as a springboard. At the same time, Turkey's leaders aimed to free the Muslim peoples of Central Asia from the Tsarist yoke - and rule them themselves as part of a great new Ottoman empire. The shadowy - and often bloody - struggle that followed was fought out between the intelligence services of King, Kaiser, Sultan, and Tsar. It was to spill over into Persia, Afghanistan, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, and to be felt as far afield as the United States and China. Here, told in epic detail and for the first time, is the extraordinary story of the Turco-German jihad of the First World War, recounted through the adventures and misadventures of the secret agents and others who took part in it. Pieced together from the secret intelligence reports of the day and the long-forgotten memoirs of the participants, Peter Hopkirk's latest narrative is an enthralling sequel to the acclaimed The Great Game, and his three earlier works set in Central Asia. It is also highly topical in view of recent events in this volatile region where the Great Game has never really ceased. The rise of Islamic fundamentalism and fears of a resurgent Russia and a reunified Germany add greatly to thesignificance of this epic tale.  0018973108tOn secret service east of ConstantinoplebTexte impriméothe plot to bring down the British EmpirefPeter HopkirkcLondonnMurrayd1994pXII-431 p.-[10] p. de pl.y0-7195-5017-3  3027324036aGuerre mondiale (1914-1918)3027825612xServices de renseignements3027254755yTurquie2rameau  3027324036aGuerre mondiale (1914-1918)3027825612xServices de renseignements3027218856yAllemagne2rameau  3027324036aGuerre mondiale (1914-1918)3027791246xInfluence2rameau  3027305651aIndez1765-1947 (Occupation britannique)2rameau  3028216091aCaucase (Russie)3027794687z1900-19452rameau 13026924366aHopkirkbPeterf1930-....4070 3bAbesc20050214gAFNOR
