Afghanistan: A Military History from Alexander the Great to the Fall of the Taliban
An interesting title and for long I wanted a series to listen to in my car.
Editorial review from Amazon:
This book was very well researched and written. Even if you have very little knowledge of Afghanistan, you can understand and easily read this book. It is full of interesting history, along with it's excellent explanation of the military information.
As I began listening to the first title track, I got lost into the names, battles and locations happening at once between the Persians and the Greeks and was wondering where was it leading me to?
Until, ofcourse, came the name of a 20 something leader - Alexander. Absolutely wonderful. To listen to his ambitions and persuits. Was sorry when I arrived at my office and had to switch my player off but looking forward to his conquest and his march to Afghanistan...
