  1. 1. Alexander The Great

    A vivid, authoritative biography that reconstructs Alexander’s life and campaigns from Macedonia through Persia to India, combining close reading of ancient sources with lively narrative and rigorous scholarship; it traces his military genius and logistical skill, explores his complex personality and motives, and situates his policy of cultural fusion and monarchy-building in the wider political and social consequences that culminated in his sudden death in Babylon and the creation of the Hellenistic world.
