“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

—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.”
