Description
Alexander's Empire: A Masterful Account of Kings and Conquerors By the time Alexander the Great died, his empire had stretched from the Adriatic Sea to the Indian subcontinent, redrawn the map of the ancient world. But his success was not solely the result of his own genius, but also the culmination of decades of effort by his father, Philip II of Macedon. A skilled diplomat and military leader, Philip had unified his country and conquered Greece, laying the foundations for his son's future conquests. A masterful historian, Adrian Goldsworthy sheds new light on the life and achievements of Philip and Alexander, revealing the complexities and nuances of their relationship. Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, Goldsworthy brings to life the story of how Philip and Alexander transformed a weak kingdom in northern Greece into a globe-spanning empire, forever changing the course of history. With 672 pages of in-depth analysis and compelling narrative, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of ancient Greece and the rise of the Macedonian Empire.
