Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russians at the Gates of Herat In my "Russian Advance Towards India," published in 1882, I made these remarks: - "In my writings on Russia I try to be impartial. I know I have a greater love for Russia, the country of my youth, and a better appreciation of the Russian people, than the so-called 'Russophile' traders in politics, who lauded her indiscriminately in 1877, from motives of self or party interest, and abandoned her afterwards to false attacks; and the public know, from my writings, that I am a vigilant and anxious observer of the Russian advance toward India. I am thus, I suppose, both a Russophile and a Russophobe. As for my local opinions, my youth was passed in a country which has no political parties corresponding with our Liberal and Conservative factions, and does not want them; while my studies have led me to survey politics from the standpoint of one who considers himself more in the light of a citizen of the English Empire - of that great empire that embraces the five empires of England, of Canada, of Australia, of South Africa, and of India - than merely a Liberal or Conservative Englishman of Lesser England only. Being, in this sense, an Imperialist, and a non-party writer, I claim immunity from any charge of unduly favouring Liberal or Conservative policy in my remarks on the Central Asian Question.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia's Power of Attacking India IN the Spring of this year I wrote these words in The Russians at the Gates of Hem: Let me make the appeal that, if you thoroughly appreciate the'importance of preserving Herat, you will not Simply content yourself with silent acquiescence. The press and the platform are open to you to give publicity to your support, and if you have means you can help in the dissemina tion of pamphlets to keep alive public feeling to the danger of the Russian advance. I have never rejected anyone's co-opera tion in the sacred task of safeguarding India from the menace from the north, and gratefully place on record the encourage ment which has been given to my efforts by the sympathy con veyed to me by my readers. With your help I may be able to do more than I am doing; without it, I remain just as determined as ever not to allow Russia to have Herat while my tongue and my pen can prevent it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic Church in Russia Today In the past the Catholics in Russia had a Christian Government and a Christian Church to struggle against, and the odds were then not so terrific. In the gigantic struggle of to-day more fearful forces have come into play. The Church in Russia fights not only against political enemies, but against the em bodied spirits oi darkness. And yet the great truth stands clear before every Russian Catholic that the gates of hell, even of the reddest of hells, cannot prevail against his Church. And this realisation is what helps him to go through everything with a stout heart. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Christoph Baumer's ambitious four-volume treatment of the region charts the 3000-year drama of Scythians and Sarmatians; Soviets and transcontinental Silk Roads; trade routes and the transmission of ideas across the steppes; and the breathless and brutal conquests of Alexander the Great and Chinghiz Khan. Masterfully interweaving the stories of individuals and peoples, the author's engaging prose is richly augmented throughout by colour photographs taken on his own travels. This set includes The Age of the Steppe Warriors (Volume 1), The Age of the Silk Roads (Volume 2), The Age of Islam and the Mongols (Volume 3) and The Age of Decline and Revival (Volume 4)

It shows not only that the over whelming majority of the Russian intellect uals, including nearly all of her brilliant lit crary geniuses, are opposed to the persecution of the Jews or any other race, but that they have a capacity for sympathy and understand ing of humanity unequalled in any other land. I do not know of any book where the genius and heart of Russia is better displayed. Not only her leading litterateurs but also her leading statesmen and economists are repre sented - and all of them speak as with a single voice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains articles on historic cities of the Islamic world, ranging from West Africa to Malaysia, which over the centuries have been centres of culture and learning and of economic and commercial life, and which have contributed much to the consolidation of Islam as a faith and as a social and political institution. The articles have been taken from the second edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam, completed in 2004, but in many cases expanded and rewritten. All have been updated to include fresh historical information, with note of contemporary social developments and population statistics. The book thus delineates the urban background of Islam has it has evolved up to the present day, highlighting the role of such great cities as Cairo, Istanbul, Baghdad and Delhi in Islamic history, and also brings them together in a rich panorama illustrating one of mankind's greatest achievements, the living organism of the city.
