Russia - England: the Unknown War. 1857 - 1907 (Alexander Shirokorad). Gift book bound in leather.

Alexander Borisovich Shirokorad is a Russian writer and publicist. Author of more than a hundred books on artillery, military equipment, history.

The confrontation between England and Russia in 1857-1907 largely predetermined the course of events of the XX century. And even now, the study of this "white spot" of world history, one might say, the first "cold war", allows us to take a fresh look at the situation that developed after the collapse of the USSR. It was a great conflict between the two most powerful empires of the world, which took place in all areas of the World Ocean, from the banks of the Vistula to the Pamir Mountains, from the walls of Constantinople to the deserts of Xijiang.

In his research, the author tried to popularize the history of the military, diplomatic and economic aspects of the conflict between the two great powers.
