Product Description
From AudioFile
A Western army marches into Afghanistan, planning to conquer it in three months. Three years later, a deal is struck leading to an "honorable" withdrawal. Not a page of recent history, this is a haunting historical novel recounting Alexander the Great's ill-fated Afghan invasion. Told by a Greek foot-soldier, Pressfield's novel features a well-staged, crisp, and understandable story line and enough historical detail to fascinate without slowing down the relentless plot. British reader James Langton presents believable and varied voices for the key characters and brings forth the story with the discipline and timing of a well-trained army. Add in excellent sound quality, and the listening time with this book is well spent. T.F. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
Review
“Pressfield has done it again. The Afghan Campaign is yet another gripping historical novel . . . Although set in ancient times, Pressfield’s narration of the Macedonians’ efforts reveals remarkable parallels to later efforts by the Romans, British, Soviets, and Americans . . . an intense, fun, and thought-provoking read. It belongs on your shelf.”
—T. X. Hammes, Marine Corps Gazette
“Pressfield's scholarly skills are part and parcel of his impressive talent for re-creating the visceral, scalp-carving, lance-in-back horror of ancient battle.”
—USA Today
“Fasinating . . . As Patrick O'Brien's prose seemed to encapsulate the feel of the Napoleonic-era warship, Pressfield's crisp and eloquent style reconstitutes the ancient battlefield.”
