As Britain and Russia vie for political and commercial influence in the 1840s, an East India Company intelligence officer embarks on a perilous mission to persuade the rulers of Central Asia to form an anti-Russian alliance, open their markets to British goods, and free their slaves. Conolly’s biography is based on primary sources, including his journals and correspondence, the secret diary he kept during his imprisonment by the emir of Bokhara, and other contemporary documents.
