Book Reviews of The Afghan Campaign: A Novel
Book Review: 21st Century story With a Sarissa
Summary: 1 Stars
My hobby is Greco-Roman history and I will read almost anything relating to the time period. This is one book though that I can't recommend. It has a poor plot, B movie characters, character development which would make a romance novel look good and "Macedonian slang" which makes one queasy.
It reads like some movie script trying to mirror our present fight in afgahnistan full of Christian-Muslim concepts and musings. That would be fine if it did't try to pass itself off as a historical novel, which it isn't.
If you thought 300 was historically accurate, you'll love this book.
