the blood of countless victims…
Book review:
Setting the East Ablaze:
Lenin’s Dream of an Empire in Asia
by Peter Hopkirk
New York: Kodansha International, Ltd., 1984, 1995)
252 pp
Setting the East Ablaze is a great complement to Hopkirk’s more historic treatment of the perennial Asian conflicts, The Great Game.
One wonders whether there is any region of the world that couldn’t be the setting for this kind of relentlessly detailed treatment of the self-serving and violent vagaries of human conceit and avarice that have ploughed the earth and turned under the blood of countless victims.
You can learn a lot in reading this book, but you might not be surprised.
