This book invites the reader to cast the mind a hundred and fifty years back to a short span of time between 1829 and 1842. This was an exciting period when Britain?€?s might, demonstrated to the world at Trafalgar and Waterloo, was fortified by leadership in steam technology and was given a new direction by the liberal philosophy that British statesmen, thinkers and poets proclaimed at home and abroad. The Euphrates expedition was an attempt by well-intentioned British governments to achieve a geopolitical end by a technological means. The objective was to halt Russian expansion in the Near East, where some observers saw a threat to Britain?€?s control of India.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45576360657134,"sku":"9780710304292","price":352.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/euphrates-expedition-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
