It explores the forms of military intelligence, how men were trained to produce them, and their relationship to other types of imperial knowledge. ‘This book is a groundbreaking study of the rise of the British imperial security regime in the nineteenth century. James L. Hevia’s mastery of rare military archives demystifies the trope of the Great Game and provides an extraordinarily detailed analysis of how the geopolitical boundaries of Asia were produced through a proliferation of route books, maps and statistics, and other apparati of imperial intelligence networks. His scrutiny of the imperial past makes the contemporary security-obsessed American empire supremely legible.’ Lydia H.
