As a history teacher, I can't express how helpful it is to use Kings and Generals in the classroom. Unparalleled mapping!

From what I can tell there isn't much on youtube about the historical figure of F.M. Bailey who was a British agent trapped in Tashkent during the Bolshevik revolution. His survival and escape through disguise and spy-craft make him a James Bond in the 1920s. He was so good at his craft that the Soviet Cheka unknowingly hired him to capture himself. He eventually escaped to Persia. A great read on this subject is called Mission to Tashkent by Peter Hopkirk.

Thanks for all your great work over the years. I've been a fan since this channel started. It's hard for me to pick a topic there are so many. I love it especially when you cover uncommon topics like eastern europe or go more in depth on popular stuff like with the Byzantine empire.

Its my experiance from studying the history of Afghanistan that Whenever tyrants reache its peak , God simply sends them to Afghanistan to teach them a lesson of humility.

If you're interested in this time period of Central Asia, I recommend reading the manga Otoyomegatari by Kaoru Mori. It follows many characters, but primarily through the eyes of an eccentric British explorer as he journeyed through Central Asia during the time of the Great Game. You can get quite the in-depth look into the diverse cultures of the region stretching from Turkestan to Persia and Anatolia. Latest chapters hints at exploring the British Raj as well.

It is truly hard to believe that one area of land has been fought over so often by the great empires of the world throughout time.
