George Hayward and the Great Game


Tim Hannigan's thrilling account of the life and death of the C19th explorer George Hayward is now published by History Press.

Driven by an 'insane desire' Hayward crossed the Western Himalayas, tangled with despotic chieftains and ended up on the wrong side of both the Raj and the mighty Maharaja of Kashmir.

Tim Hannigan explores the conspiracies and controversies that surrounded his death, travelling in Hayward's footsteps to bring the story up to date and to reveal how the echoes of the Great Game still reverberate across Central Asia in the C21st.
