About This Book

An account traces the life and career of Yakoob Beg, a soldier of fortune who carved out an independent rule in Kashgar and Eastern Turkestan. The narrative situates his rise within detailed geographical and ethnographic descriptions, recounts his service in Central Asian polities, military campaigns, governance marked by severity and political vacillation, and diplomatic dealings with Russia, China, and Britain. It follows the climactic struggle with Chinese forces, his death, and the ensuing reconquest, and concludes with broader reflections on Chinese administration in the region and documentary appendices of treaties and reports.
