Description

“A very powerful work on Alexander the Great to appear in a very long time. Neither scholarship nor semi-fictional biography will ever be the same again. . . .Engels at last uses the entire archaeological work done in Asia up to now generation and makes it accessible. . . . Careful analyses of terrain, climate, and supply requirements are all the way through combined in a masterly fashion to help account for Alexander’s strategic decision in the light of the options open to him…The chief merit of this splendid book is perhaps the way in which it brings an ancient army to life, as it actually was once and moved: the hours it took for simple operations of washing and cooking and feeding animals; the train of noncombatants moving with the army. . . . this can be a book so they can set the reader thinking. There don’t seem to be many books on Alexander the Great that do.”―New York Review of Books
