Talk:The Afghan Campaign

Spoiler!
Isn't the plot summary here a gigantic spoiler which will ruin the shocking effect of the book for anyone subsequently reading the novel?

Baz
When Shinar's brother was said to be named "Baz", was that his actual name, or was he just using the name the Macedonians called the Afghans as a name of defiance, like when Maximus in Gladiator at first claims to the Emperor his name is "Gladiator"?

Link
I put in a link to the Random House site to support the plot statements: http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780385516419 - For some reason this diverts to an 404 Amazon site when the ref link  is clicked.  SilkTork  *YES! 17:29, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
