| Synopsis: |
Arguably the greatest general who ever lived, conqueror of the known world, Alexander is surely one of the most fascinating figures in history. His conquests ushered in centuries of Greek settlement and cultural influence over distant areas, a period known as the Hellenistic Age, a combination of Greek and Middle Eastern culture. Alexander himself lived on in the history and myth of both Greek and non-Greek cultures. After his death (and even during his life) his exploits inspired a literary tradition in which he appears as a legendary hero in the tradition of Achilles. The key to this remarkable book is that no one is more qualified to analyse the military strategy of Alexander than Major General J F C Fuller, world-renowned military historian. Of course there have been many books written about the great general but none, in terms of concision and military insight, is as good as this one. |
