Description: In this book, the author lays out a detailed account of Alexander's spectacular life and supplies a vivid reconstruction of all the major battles Alexander fought in his short but successful march of conquest. The author amply illustrates, through his detailed history of the nature of warfare in the ancient world, why both his contemporaries and later historians and soldiers held up Alexander as being one of the greatest commanders of all time.
