Sabres on the Steppes by John Ure illustrations by Toby Ward From the dustjacket: John Ure tells the stories of maverick and wayward Englishmen, Scotsmen, and Irishmen - often journalists, politicians, merchants, clergymen, explorers and others - who defied not only the Russians but their own authorities in challenging the Tsar's expansionist ambitions.
