Description
This "literate rendering of Alexander's life" offers a nuanced portrait of the great conqueror in both governance and war (Kirkus).
Alexander's legacy has had a major impact on military tacticians, scholars, statesmen, adventurers, authors, and filmmakers. In this trenchant and evocative biography, Paul Cartledge sheds light on Alexander's remarkable political and military accomplishments, cutting through the myths to show why he was such a great leader.
Cartledge explores our endless fascination with Alexander and gives us insight into his charismatic leadership, his capacity for brutality, and his sophisticated grasp of international politics. Alexander the Great is an engaging portrait of a fascinating man, and a welcome balance to the myths, legends, and often skewed history that have obscured the real Alexander.
