Within the span of thirteen years, Alexander the Great changed the
face of the world more decisively and with more long-lasting
effects than any other statesman has ever done. It is therefore no
surprise that there has been, and still is, so much debate about
both his personality and his achievement. The great merit of
Professor Hammond's biography is that, with impressive mastery of
the evidence, he sets the record straight between the extremes of
romantic hero worship on the one hand and scholarly demolition on
the other. Based on his detailed knowledge of the literarysources
and on his own experience of warfare in Alexander's native country,
Professor Hammond presents a compelling picture of Alexander in his
public life as king, commander and statesman. This revised
biography includes new material and extensive reference to literary
sources.Professor Hammond's other works include "The History of
Macedonia" and "Studies in Greek History." He also collaborated on
"The Oxford Classical Dictionary" and "The Cambridge Ancient
History."
