When a "civilized" army like Alexander's confronts a primitive tribal foe (as Alexander did in the Afghan kingdoms in the 330s B.C.), it often sinks to the level of brutality and pitilessness of its enemy. Ask the British and the Russians of their own experience in that cruel country. Ask our own guys.

New episodes every Monday and Thursday.
