By the time of his death in 323 B.C., Alexander III of Macedonia
had built an empire that stretched from the eastern Mediterranean
coast through Asia Minor and into the Indus valley. Even before his
sudden death, Alexander had achieved mythical status throughout his
kingdom, and in the centuries that followed his life became the
subject of countless chronicles and biographies. N. G. L. Hammond,
the foremost expert on ancient Macedonian history, here presents a
new account of Alexander's fabled career. Based on a thorough
analysis of the ancient sources and enriched by a lifetime of
research, Hammond's narrative pronounces the Macedonian conqueror a
man truly deserving of the title Alexander the Great. According to
Hammond, Alexander was a visionary statesman and general, the force
behind a kingdom which rose above racism and nationalism to enjoy
peace and prosperity. His intellect and charismatic personality,
which earned him the respect, admiration, and devotion of his
subjects, also help explain Alexander's endurance as a source of
fascination into the present day.
