Book Overview
In this book, Waldemar Heckel traces the rise and eventual fall of one of the most successful military commanders in history. In 325 BCE, Alexander and his conquering army prepared to return home, after overcoming everything in their path: armies, terrain, climate, all invariably hostile. Little did they know that within two years their beloved king would be dead and their labours seemingly wasted. Tracing the rise and eventual fall of one of the most successful military commanders in history, Heckel engagingly and with great detail shows us how Alexander earned his appellation, The Great.

Another gem from Waldemar Heckel!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
The misleading and inaccurate review posted by "Barrie W. Bracken" has prompted me to write this. The author of the book, Waldemar Heckel, is one of the most respected and knowledgeable authors and historians on Alexander the Great. If you do a Google search on him you will see that and his prolific scholarly additions to the field of Alexander study. This book is a wonderful general book on Alexander and includes insights found no where else. It's the most interesting and enjoyable books on Alexander I have read in a while. And I try to read them all. Very highly recommended!
