brief_description
The creation of a Greek frontier in Central Asia was one of the most famous and far-reaching achievements of Alexander the Great... This book examines this key historical clash from both sides, and shows that the birth of Hellenistic Bactria was a traumatic one eliciting more bitterness than brotherhood. -- Publisher's description.
