The Afghan Campaign By Steven Pressfield Great authors usually write fictional novels about the Great Alexander. Others just read about him. Many do research about this mesmerizing topic. I chose to write a novel about Alexander seen through the eyes (and feelings) of the enigmatic Hephaistion. Hard job: I might be completing it sooner or later if life grants me the time to do it. Steven ...             Tides of War122 reviews Steven Pressfield Bantam, 2001 No Glory that was Greece Though advertised as being about Alkibiades, the novel is more about the character Polemides, and his life as an Athenian mercenary turned traitor. Telling his tale in post-war Athens, locked up for trivial charges masking that of his role in killing Alkibiades, to his defender Jason, who is in turn telling the tale decades later to his grandson (sounds confusing, but it isn't very), ...             The War of Art128 reviews Steven Pressfield Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2003 a real winner! What a great book. A very fast read. Honest, "tough love" for the stuck creative personality. Some coarse language I could have done without, but lots of sharp insight and effective support for his advice in the telling of his own stories and those of others.             Killing Rommel1 review Steven Pressfield Doubleday, 2008 Not your average commando raid Killing Rommel is the latest effort from the noted historical fiction author, Steven Pressfield. This fast paced book is different than most of Pressfield's titles which normally focus on ancient warfare. As the title suggests, this story is set during World War II. The story is treated as a first hand account of a British officer, Lt. Chapman, who is attached to the British Long Range Desert ...             Alexander74 reviews Steven Pressfield BANTAM PAPERBACKS (T, 2005 There's a *reason* Alexander is still remembered This superior historical novel really ought to be read before his latest one, _The Afghan Campaign,_ which enlarges on one of Alexander's later campaigns, and from a different perspective -- but they're really two separate narratives, so no harm done if (like me) you read them in reverse order. The narrative is Alexander himself, outlining the history of his conquest of Asia for the benefit of ...             Gates of Fire643 reviews Bantam, 2007 What is the opposite of fear? In 480 B.C., the Battle of Thermopylae changed world history forever, though in some perverse way, today we revisit some of the roots of this singular conflict among powers. Don't mind those few critics. Gates of Fire is a beautiful work, lavish and elaborate. Indulge it, lose yourself in it, and be ever mindful of your own terribly easy life. Xeo is an unlikely hero, fully believable. ...             Last of the Amazons50 reviews Steven Pressfield Bantam, 2003 New direction for author: Well done Pressfield's Gates of Fire and Tides of War show an excellent combination of good storytelling, good writing and as much historical accuracy as fiction allows. With Last of the Amazons, he expands from history to mythology, even fantasy, all with the skill, imagination, and eye for detail that makes the fantasy utterly believable. Like his other books, the battle scenes here are brutal and gory, ...             Blood Stripes: The Grunt's View of the War in Iraq23 reviews David J. Danelo Stackpole Books, 2006 Real People, Real War BLOOD STRIPES, as you learn in the book, are the red stripes that an NCO in the Marine Corps is permitted to wear on the outside of their blue pants. You also learn how they came about - and I'm not going to give it away. What I will say is that this book teaches you things about the Marine Corps and the men who are the backbone of the Corps - the Grunts - that you could only learn by going ...             The Legend of Bagger Vance92 reviews Steven Pressfield Bantam Books Ltd, 2001 The Only Author Who Fits Into No Genre But His Own Steven Pressfield has written one of the most important books of the century. Yes, it has a play-the-game-of-golf theme, but if one is willing to go where few will brave - this is a deeply profound book about love, truth, honor, betrayal, despair, fear courage, hope...and faith in God (that has nothing to do with man-made artifice of law and state). Indeed, the book is the only one I have ever ...             Gates of Fire3 reviews Steven Pressfield Doubleday, 1999 GREAT STORY - BEAUTIFULLY TOLD! Everybody dies. So did these 300 Greeks. But the world will never forget their choice of death. It is incorrect that the battle at Thermopylae changed the course of history. That was the battle at Marathon, some years before, when the Greek cities were unprepared and only the city of Athens was able to scrape a small army of conscripts which, brilliantly generaled by Miltiadis, defeated the ...             The Afghan Campaign Steven Pressfield Doubleday, 2007             Conquista De Alejandro Magno, Steven Pressfield Plaza y Janes, 2006 Año 338-323 a.C. Varado en la India ante el enemigo, Alejandro y sus tropas no consiguen prosperar en su avance de la conquista asiática. Este decide entonces contar sus recuerdos a uno de sus hombres y dejar así registro escrito para la posteridad. Comienza entonces el relato de su infancia en Macedonia, cuando ya acompañaba a su padre a ver el entrenamiento de sus ejércitos, educado por Aristóteles, cuando más tarde ya se convertiría él mismo ...             The Afghan Campaign Steven Pressfield Bantam Books Ltd, 2008             Killing Rommel32 reviews Steven Pressfield Recorded Books, 2008 `Like many of my generation I did not go to war gravely and soberly ...' By the autumn of 1942, France has fallen to Hitler's legions, the Soviet Union is reeling on the eastern front, and Britain is beleaguered. In North Africa, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel (`The Desert Fox') and his Panzers have routed the Eighth Army and, seemingly invincible, threaten the vital oilfields of the Middle East. Out of desperation, the British plan to send a small, heavily armed ...             Gita on the Green: The Mystical Tradition Behind Bagger Vance5 reviews Steven Pressfield Continuum International Publishing Group, 2000 Bagger Meets Krishna Review A Review of Gita on the Green: The Mystical Tradition Behind Bagger Vance By Steven J.
