Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-29 00:00:00 Michael Fuchs I have been working my way through most of T.A. Dodge's series and enjoyed this one best or at least as much as the one on Hannibal. The battles and surrounding circumstances were so incredible that I often was incredulous. However, whether true, made up, or some mix didn't matter too much; I would have enjoyed them just as much if pure fiction. The coverage of the battles and tactics are good, but there is also more general history in this one than there is in some of the others. Great read.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-01 00:00:00 Alan Black A good condensed version of Alexander 's military campaigns Being that Alexander was 2,300 + years ago and there is not a great amount of references, the book stayed mainly focussed on his military campaigns and maneuvers. It does show Alexander as one trying to increase trade, and valuing people. He led from the front.
