A biography of the outstanding Russian general and diplomat Count N.P.Ignat'ev (1832-1908), who negotiated the treaties of Beijing and San Stefano. The book focuses on his career in Central Asia and assesses whether his reputation for masking the truth is deserved.
This is the first complete biography of the outstanding Russian general and diplomat Count N. P. Ignat'ev (1832-1908) who negotiated the important treaties of Beijing and San Stefano. The book focuses on his brilliant career in Central Asia as a leading player in the "Great Game", China and especially as ambassador in Constantinople, 1864-77., where he acquired the monikers "the Vice-Sultan" for his powerful position there and "Father of Lies" for his alleged tendency to tell fibs (a reputation here reassessed).
