 A very enjoyable read October 28, 2008
Over the last few months I have read several Steven Pressfield novels and I have to say that the Afghan Campaign has been one of my favourites. All the hype focuses on another Pressfield novel "Gates of Fire"(which is excellent) but this novel almost equals it.
Each Pressfield novel is written from a different perspective and in the Afghan Campaign the book is seen from a normal soldiers view. And perhaps this is why I enjoyed it so much. Its a far easier read than Pressfields "Tides of War" for example.
Just try it, I bet you'll like it.
 disappointing read March 23, 2008

Having read "Alexander - Virtues of War" I was looking forward to reading this one. All in all I found it very disappointing. There were brilliant descriptions of the landscape of the region and the tribal conflicts.
The book did make me realise that so little seems to have changed since the days of Alexander. Maybe this was the intention of the author since the story to me appeared to be more about this than Alexander. The main character was not strong enough to carry the book.

If you've enjoyed his other works you'll enjoy this. Very readable historical fiction.
I have to say I didn't quite warm to the main character hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. It was still a great book though.
