"Longlisted for the Runciman Award, Anglo-Hellenic League"
"A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year"
"The question of what influences Greeks and Indians might have had
on each other in the centuries that followed Alexander the Great is
one that has always simultaneously fascinated and frustrated
historians – so huge gratitude is due to Stoneman for shedding as
much light on the issue as anyone is ever likely to do."---Tom
Holland, BBC History Magazine
"Excellent, and very readable. . . . The Greek Experience of India
is the best book ever written on ancient Greek relations with
India, and ought to be required reading for global historians of
any era."---Peter Thonemann, Times Literary Supplement
"Drawing on a vast array of research, [Stoneman] has compiled a
magisterial overview of 'the Indo-Greek era', beginning with
Alexander’s crossing of the Hindu Kush mountain range in 327 BC and
ending with the severing of contact about three centuries later.
[The Greek Experience of India is an] intriguing and valuable
book."---James Romm, New York Review of Books
"This is a magisterial work with plenty to complement and enrich
the writings of those like W.W. Tarn, A.K. Narain and Jean W.
Sedlar."---Stephen Kern, Classics for All
"[Stoneman has] such a direct narrative skill that the casual
reader will hardly realise this is a solid scholarly thesis. This
is an excellent introduction to the relevant source materials and
their authors, and destined to be a valued reference."---Bob
Rickard, Fortean Times
"To those who, like me, want to explore other ancient cultures
beyond the Mediterranean basin, this is an excellent book. Stoneman
has provided a familiar frame for an unfamiliar place in the world
that will surely endure as required reading for any student of
Alexander, the Indo-Greeks, and Ancient India."---Owain Williams,
Ancient History Magazine
"Stoneman’s narration of a complex subject is a worthy addition to
the numerous works of Indo-Roman and Indo-Greek interaction
providing a comprehensive review of the time immediately following
Alexander’s presence in Indian subcontinent.—Ashwini
Lakshminarayanan, American Journal of Philology"---Ashwini
