The Afghan Campaign

I've been studying modern Afghanistan in one of my classes, and so for the College Students spring/summer challenge I decided to pick a book taking place in the same area, thousands of years ago.

This book is well-written, interesting, and full of plot and war. However, I definitely think the writing style is not one that would interest most women. I'm not sure why this is the case, but it definitely has a masculine vibe to it. (Perhaps that's an effect of a man writing it, told from a man's perspective, in a masculine-oriented war.)

However, I would recommend it to anyone interested in this time period, and specifically about the lives of an everyday cavalryman.
