About This Item
Pen & Sword, 2009. New book, 164 pages. Alexander the Great is often regarded as the greatest military genius of all time (Julius Caesar wept at the feet of his statue in envy of his achievements). Most of his thirteen year reign as king of Macedon was spend in hard campaigning, during which he was never defeated in open battle and never besieged a city he did not take. Yet, while biographies of Alexander abound, there are relatively few full length books dedicated to the Macedonian army which made his dazzling conquests possible. Stephen English investigates every element of the Macedonian forces, analysing the recruitment, equipment, organisation, command and tactics of each of the fighting arms (including the famous pike phalanxes, elite hypaspists, and incomparable Companion Cavalry). Alexander's naval forces are also covered. The author draws on recent archaeological evidence and scholoarship to present a detailed portrait of the army which conquered half the known world and repeatedly proved itself the most formidable war machine of the age.. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
