This book offers a strategic analysis of one of the most
outstanding military careers in history, identifying the most
pertinent strategic lessons from the campaigns of Alexander the
Great.
David Lonsdale argues that since the core principles of strategy
are eternal, the study and analysis of historical examples have
value to the modern theorist and practitioner. Furthermore, as
strategy is so complex and challenging, the remarkable career of
Alexander provides the ideal opportunity to understand best
practice in strategy, as he achieved outstanding and continuous
success across the spectrum of warfare, in a variety of
circumstances and environments. This book presents the thirteen
most pertinent lessons that can be learned from his campaigns,
dividing them into three categories: grand strategy, military
operations, and use of force. Each of these categories provides
lessons pertinent to the modern strategic environment. Ultimately,
however, the book argues that the dominant factor in his success
was Alexander himself, and that it was his own characteristics as a
strategist that allowed him to overcome the complexities of
strategy and achieve his expansive goals.
