Book Description
Excerpt from The Short Cut to India, the Record of a Journey, Along the Route of the Baghdad Railway The journey recorded in this volume was under taken with the object of seeing the regions through which the Baghdad Railway is projected to run. Turkey in Asia is in itself interesting country, and offers abundant material to the traveller who con templates the perpetration of a book; while the fact that a railway to the Persian Gulf affords a short cut to India gives him something to write about of more than local interest. Owing to an accident on the road which delayed me for some months, publication occurs much later than was intended, with the consequence that events have overtaken me with disconcerting rapidity. My journey was completed at the moment the Young Turk seized the reins of government. The book deals, therefore, with things as they were under the old conditions. As general politics are but slightly touched upon, however, the situation, so far as it concerns my narrative, remains unaltered, and it is only necessary to remind the reader that I had crossed the Taurus Mountains, and written the chapter uponviii preface.

British Routes to India.
Author: Halford Lancaster HoskinsPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429682948
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 439
Book Description
First published in 1928, this volume examines the routes to India which originated as a means of communication and casual trading voyages in the late 18th century but which evolved under European imperialism, adding vast significance and definite lines of access alongside economic and social uses in times of peace, strategic access in times of war and acting as political objects on all occasions. Halford Lancaster Hoskins responded to the solicitude of the Powers of Europe in relation to countries in the eastern Mediterranean, which had been a conspicuous feature of international relations since the rise of the Eastern Question.
