Charles Thomas Marvin was the correspondent for the Globe at St. Petersburg and an accomplished writer on Russia. In 1882 the radical liberal member of Parliament for Newcastle upon Tyne, Joseph Cowan, sent him to Russia to interview the generals and statesmen involved in the Russo-Indian/Central Asian Question, a matter of considerable concern to the British in view of their extensive interests in the region. This book is the result, and it is a fascinating account (quite well written) of the apparently very frank views of the Russian military and political leadership regarding Anglo-Russian relations, capabilities, strategic interests and intentions in the area.
