{"product_id":"with-alexander-in-india-and-claudia-antonetti-9781785705847","title":"With Alexander in India and Central Asia: Moving East and Back to West","description":"Alexander conquered most parts of the Western World, but there is a great deal of controversy over his invasion of India, the least known of his campaigns. In BC 327 Alexander came to India, and tried to cross the Jhelum river for the invasion, but was then confronted by King Porus who ruled an area in what is now the Punjab. According to Indian history he was stopped by Porus at his entry into the country, but most of the world still believes that Alexander won the battle. Fearing the prospect of facing other large armies and exhausted by years of campaigning, Alexander's army mutinied at the Hyphasis River, refusing to march farther east. This river thus marks the easternmost extent of Alexander's conquests.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTwelve papers in this volume examine aspects of Alexander's Indian campaign, the relationship between him and his generals, the potential to use Indian sources, and evidence for the influence of policies of Alexander in neighbouring areas such as Iran and Russia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claudia Antonetti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785705849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785705847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxbow Books Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Claudia Antonetti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065820459263,"sku":"9781785705847","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79bb71e6-5d7d-4b1d-b818-f8780cfac9b6.jpg?v=1768677500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/with-alexander-in-india-and-claudia-antonetti-9781785705847","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
