King Alexander III 'the Great' of Macedon was one of the greatest military commanders the world has ever known. This book seeks to dispel some of the myths which have grown up around him and to provide an up-to-date account of his life. This includes the Macedonian background and Alexander's early years, his campaigns in Thrace and Illyria and the destruction of Thebes, the invasion of the Persian Empire and the battles which led to its conquest, his expeditions to India and finally his death in Babylon. Dr Rice also assesses Alexander's personality, and provides a summary of his legacy to the western world.
E.E. Rice is a specialist in military history, topography and the social history of the Greek world in the Hellenistic period. She is Senior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford, and is a lecturer in classical archaeology at Hertford College, Oxford.
