Description

Alexander's Conquests: A Comprehensive Account Arrian's Campaigns of Alexander is the most reliable account of the life and achievements of one of history's greatest conquerors. Written over four hundred years after Alexander's death, this book provides a unique insight into the mind and actions of a man driven by insatiable ambition.

The book offers a fully rounded portrait of a man who was worshipped as a god in his lifetime, and whose legacy continues to fascinate readers to this day.

Hamilton, and a range of supplementary materials to enhance your understanding of this pivotal moment in history.
