Summary, etc | The End of the Great Game is a narrative of geopolitics taking place in South Asia. This is a region that is intimately related to the Middle East and its vast oil reserves. Since the end of World War II major powers of the world such as Great Britain, the Soviet Union and the US have jockeyed for position to either control these resources or prevent the opposing power from gaining control over it. This resulted in the Cold War which lasted for almost five decades. Since the first Gulf War of 1991 between the US and Iraq a new alliance between China, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan has emerged in this region. |
