Interesting! But makes sense indeed - also vice versa many American books are launched on the British/European market under alternative titles.
Hopkirk's book on the Great Game is also reportedly a great read - but I have yet to order it.
For those interested in WW 1 history I can also highly recommend the YouTube series called 'The Great War' - which is a week by week recap of how the War unfolded and what was playing out behind the scenes. The channel has also some really interesting specials - and all episodes in general are very professionally made and well-researched.
