The Conquests of Alexander the Great (Key Conflicts of Classical Antiquity) - Hardcover
Book 2 of 3: Key Conflicts of Classical Antiquity
Synopsis
In this book, Waldemar Heckel provides a revisionist overview of the conquests of Alexander the Great. Emphasizing the aims and impact of his military expeditions, the political consequences of military action, and the use of propaganda, both for motivation and justification, his underlying premise is that the basic goals of conquest and the keys to military superiority have not changed dramatically over the millennia. Indeed, as Heckel makes clear, many aristocratic and conquest societies are remarkably similar to that of Alexander in their basic aims and organization.

8vo; original tan cloth, lettered in black on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xxii + 218, incl. index; maps; battle plans. Dustwrapper very slightly rubbed. Very good condition. ' "In 325 BCE, Alexander and his conquering army prepared to return home, after overcoming everything in their path: armies, terrain, climate, all invariably hostile. Some traveled by sea, some along the coastal desert, to consolidate their victory and contemplate the magnitude of their accomplishments. Little did they know that within two years, their beloved king would be dead and their labors seemingly wasted, left only with the scars of combat and slowly fading memories of that glorious adventure in the east." Tracing the rise and eventual fall of one of the most successful military commanders in history, Waldemar Heckel engagingly and with great detail shows us how Alexander earned his appellation, The Great.'.
