Wh;
hat George W. Bush
the twenty-first century" actually began more
than
led his army into what is now a sprawling ruin
in northern Afghanistan. Accounts of Alexan¬
der's invasion of ancient Bactria read eerily like
news from our own day. In this vivid, meticu¬
lously researched, and elegantly narrated book,
Frank L. Holt follows Alexander's historical,
archaeological, and numismatic legacy back and
forth between ancient Bactria and modern
Afghanistan. Recounting the plight of the most
powerful leader of the time as he led the most
sophisticated army of its day into the treacher¬
ous world of tribal warlords. Holt describes
those grueling campaigns and the impact they
had on Alexander, his generals, their troops, and
the world. Into the Land of Bones also examines
the conflict from the point of view of the local
warlords who pushed the invading Greeks to
the limits of their endurance
beyond, into mania and mutiny. The lively nar¬
rative situates the current war in Afghanistan
in a broader historical perspective.
Holt explains how the three modern super¬
powers that have invaded Afghanistan
in the nineteenth century, the Soviets in the
twentieth, and the United States in the twenty-
first
der began centuries ago. That this legacy con¬
tinues to play itself out today is a testament to
the timeliness of Holt's fascinating and original
account.
