«Setting the East Ablaze» is Peter Hopkirk's historical essay, published by Oxford Paperbacks in paperback (272 pages, in English).
After the revolution failed in Europe, Lenin pushed for the expansion of Marxism into Asia. Using secret reports and eyewitness memoirs, Peter Hopkirk reconstructs the Bolshevik attempt and its clash with British intelligence in India: espionage, Chinese warlords, Muslim visionaries, and a particularly cruel White Russian baron.
The work, originally published in 1984, appears in this 1986 Oxford Paperbacks edition.
It will appeal to readers of twentieth-century history, espionage, and international relations, as well as to followers of Peter Hopkirk.
Peter Stuart Hopkirk was a British journalist, author and historian who wrote six books about the British Empire, Russia and Central Asia.
