4.0 out of 5 stars BORODIN'S CHINESE ADVENTURE ONE OF MANY., 11 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Borodin...a central figure in the Chinese part of the story told by Hopkirk...is even among the fascinating characters he brings before us...one of the great adventureres of the 20th century. The Jacobs book is out of print but borodins biography is worth looking into...particularly if one is interested in the history of the City of Chicago or if one has attended V alpariso University...you know...the one in Indiana

4.0 out of 5 stars The Great Game Ct'd, 30 April 1999
By A Customer
A nice followup read to "The Great Game" (also by Hopkirk), this book details the efforts between the World Wars by the Soviet Union to spread Marxism to the east. Like The Great Game, there are dashing adventurers, wily spies, lunatics, and odd characters aplenty. There are some great individual stories, such as the British agent who the Soviets hired to find himself, and several crackpots with serious delusions of grandeur. What really emerges is how tenuous Moscow's hold was on its further-flung regions, as Bolsheviks, White Russians, and native people vied for control of these regions. Ultimately, the books is less cohesive and thus less satisfying than "The Great Game" (and about half the size!).
