Usual aging. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gripping work of military history, A Nasty Little War chronicles the Anglo-Russian confrontation in Central Asia during the early twentieth century, a conflict that played out across the vast, unforgiving steppes and deserts of a region both empires desperately sought to control. Michael Page details the brutal campaigns, political intrigues, and human cost of a war that has largely been forgotten by mainstream history, yet left a lasting imprint on the geopolitical landscape of the region. Written with narrative authority and a sharp eye for telling detail, the account brings to life the soldiers, commanders, and civilians caught in the crossfire of imperial ambition. Page argues that this overlooked conflict deserves a central place in our understanding of the decline of empire and the birth of modern Central Asia, making a compelling case through vivid storytelling and rigorous research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820232945883,"sku":"2026200006428-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a30fb84f-59d1-4fbe-b5a2-95aed21df78c.png?v=1780054942","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006428-secondhand-a-nasty-little-war","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
