Synopsis
Alexander the Great of Macedonia was one of the greatest military commanders the world has ever known, and has been a mythical figure since his own time. This book seeks to dispel some of the myths which have grown up around him, while providing an up-to-date account of Alexander's life: the Macedonian background and Alexander's early years; his campaigns in Thrace and Ilyria and the destruction of Thebes; the invasion of the Persian Empire, and the battles which led to its conquest; his expeditions to India and back; his death at Babylon. Dr Rice also provides an assessment of Alexander’s personality, and a summary of his legacy to today’s world.Related Items
