About the book: 2009 / The soldiers of Alexander the Great did not know defeat. The great empire of the Persians fell, submitting to their power and the military genius of Alexander. But then, on the way to India, they met tribes that did not admit their defeat and entered into battle again and again. A people whose hatred of the invaders was matched only by their calmness and ability to endure hardships. “Alexander’s Soldiers” does not tell the story of clashes between commanders; it is a story about the confrontation between soldiers and people who do not want to submit.
