Cover illustration: Alessandro Magno Museo Capitolino. DJ design by Terry Dill. Preface to First and Second Editions. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean and bright. Not x-library, unclipped, & unmarked. Minor shelf wear to DJ. GIFT QUALITY. This is a full study of the work and personality, the successes and failures of Alexander of Macedon as set forth by historians of his own and succeeding centuries. Unique features in this romantic, adventurous story are the chapters on the dismemberment of the empire, the after-results, and the very contradictory estimates drawn by numerous historians. The chapters on Alexander's character, his background, his education, and his time explain certain little-known aspects of his achievement and his purpose in life.
