Alexander (Barnes & Noble Digital Library‪)‬

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.

In Alexander, Theodore Ayrault Dodge lays out a detailed account of Alexander's spectacular life and supplies a vivid reconstruction of all of the major battles Alexander fought in his short but successful march of conquest. Dodge amply illustrates through this detailed history of the nature of warfare in the ancient world why both his contemporaries and later historians and soldiers held up Alexander as being one of the greatest commanders of all time.
