The campaigns of Alexander
Arrian (Author)
Arrian's own experience as a military commander just 500 years after the reign of Alexander the Great gave him unique insights into the life of the world's greatest conqueror. He tells of Alexander's violent suppression of the Theban rebellion, his total defeat of Persia, and his campaigns through Egypt, India and Babylon -- establishing new cities and destroying others in his path. While Alexander emerges from this record as an unparalleled and charismatic leader, Arrian succeeds in creating an objective portrait of a man of boundless ambition, who was exposed to the temptations of power and worshipped as a god in his own lifetime
