Sinossi

In 521 BC, Darius I commissioned the Behistun Inscription, which mentions two Indian satrapies. One Indian satrapy paid 360 talents (505 million USD) in gold dust every year as tribute to the Persian Empire. This Empire came crashing down when Alexander the Great defeated it in 334, 333 and 331 BC. Alexander died in 323 BC, and two years later, in 321 BC, the Maurya dynasty bursts forth on the pages of world history. Chandragupta, the first Maurya, not only stopped paying tribute, he freed India's Northwest from two centuries of satraphood by establishing a really powerful Empire. This is the journey where a few men rewrote history and reshaped geography through war.

Informazioni sull?autore

B Rachana Appachoo grew up loving weapons, old and new. And she harboured a historian's curiosity about wars. Her father was a missile man in the Indian Air Force, her mom, an educator and her sister, an ex-model and Miss India runner up. As an Air Force brat, she studied all over India, wherever her father was posted. She has also done graduate studies in Anthropology in Purdue, USA, where her love for weapons got a new reinforcement, poison as a weapon. At present, she lives in Mysore, with a collection of crime books, and a garden full of red ants.
