Big history buff here and I’m just now getting into this part of the world. I finished reading “Persians - The Age of the Great Kings.” Now after watching a documentary on Alexander the Great, I had to order a book about him.
History is fascinating.

Tex,
You will enjoy reading Xenophone’s account of the trek of “the 10,000.” Written inthe 4th Century BC, it’s fascinating. It comes recommended by Victor Davis Hanson.
