Brief but very useful

This book is more an essay on Alexander the man than a study of Alexander the general, though all the campaigns and major battles are mentioned. The author discusses both positive and negative aspects of Alexander. There is some discussion of his father Phillip, but essentially no discussion on the Successors. There is only one map, covering Alexander's entire march, but enough sites are listed on the it to make it useful. The book is easy to read, with the language flowing nicely. Recommended if you're looking for a brief introduction and quick read, as I was.

Impressed by the Great the book showed , not the book itself

Have been inspired by the Alexander the Great since my childhood, I have tried to read everyting possible over him, intenet, bookstore, library and even documentation film. Here is the very site to get all necessary information.
