Книга об игре в конное поло, как ее понимают в Британии.

This book, which I warmly commend to all lovers of the game of polo, tells the story of how the game has evolved over the centuries. The tale is a magisterial account of the game sweeping down the centuries and criss-crossing continents. Dr. Horace A. Laffaye is arguably the greatest ever authority on the history of polo and is also an acute commentator on the modern game. I will never forget when I recommended a researcher at the Public Record Office in London to Dr. Laffaye. The researcher, with a mixture of admiration and gentle despair, remarked to me on Dr. Laffaye’s tireless pursuit of accuracy.This attention to accuracy and detail is one of the hallmarks of this scholarly work. This book is the fifth that Dr. Laffaye has written about polo. Each is distinguished by being authoritative and comprehensive and by demonstrating the incisive insights of someone who has a deep love and knowledge of the game.
