Alexander the Great (Hardcover, 2nd edition)

From a respected author in the field, this second edition has been updated throughout and provides the only concise introduction to the career and impact of this great Macedonian conqueror and the main themes of his reign. Using primary and modern sources, along with archaeological and numismatic evidence, Richard Stoneman takes recent research and the current state of research on the Persian Empire into consideration, and sheds new light on this influential figure. Key topics discussed include: * the Macedonian background * Alexander's education and belief * Alexander's conquests overseas * how far Alexander's aims differed from his achievements * Alexander's influence in antiquity. With an expanded bibliography, a new index and illustrations, this excellent book will not only fascinate students, it will prove to be an invaluable resource as well.
