very detailed larger book
Format: Kindle
Most books or movies center on the Battles and Victories that made him. This book is different in its details of geography and people and pre-historical events.

...there Is much to learn....
Format: Kindle
In spite of the title; it's not until 40% into this book that the subject matter actually gets around to "Alexander the Great'. Oddly, several times, the text uses the phrase "might have said" to signify what someone MIGHT have said. Then there are occasions where the reader is told that someone uses cunning, or brilliant planning, to achieve a goal…but the method or action is not actually explained. Then there are (of necessity?) occasions where the author purely assumes or guesses at circumstances, or actions. The great majority of the book is taken up with detailed descriptions of battles. STILL - there Is much to learn from this glorification of Alexander.
