Download or read book East of Hydaspes written by John Jarvis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander the Great died in 323BC. There is some debate as to the lifetime of Sun Tzu. Ssu-ma Ch'ien's Records of the Historian, completed sometime after 100BC, records that Sun Wu from the state of Chi completed his Art Of War at the end of the 6th Century BC. Chinese scholars have questioned this, and most agree it could not have been written this early. Samuel B Griffith's studies suggest the 4th Century BC. Maspero believes it was written in the 3rd Century BC. I have used a later date to make this fictional work a clash between history's greatest tactical genius and the supreme master of strategies. The use of 10,000 crossbowmen has been recorded by Chinese historians in the Battle of Ma iong in 341BC. King Wu ling made cavalry (along with trousers) part of his army in 320BC the warning states period in China dates from c543 to c221 BC.

Download or read book The Landmark Arrian written by Arrian and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arrian’s Campaigns of Alexander, widely considered the most authoritative history of the brilliant leader’s great conquests, is the latest addition to the acclaimed Landmark series. After twelve years of hard-fought campaigns, Alexander the Great controlled a vast empire that was bordered by the Adriatic sea to the west and modern-day India to the east. Arrian, himself a military commander, combines his firsthand experience of battle with material from Ptolemy’s memoirs and other ancient sources to compose a singular portrait of Alexander. This vivid and engaging new translation of Arrian will fascinate readers who are interested in classical studies, the history of warfare, and the origins of East–West tensions still swirling in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan today. Enriched by the series’ trademark comprehensive maps, illustrations, and annotations, and with contributions from the preeminent classical scholars of today, The Landmark Arrian: The Campaigns of Alexander is the definitive edition of this essential work of ancient history.
