Esta es la historia de Alejandro III, rey de Macedonia, conocido también como Alejandro Magno, cuyas cualidades para la acción fueron demostradas desde muy joven. Descolló por la organización y el adiestramiento de sus tropas, así como por su talento para idear estrategias y responder con ingenio y creatividad en el mismo campo de batalla, pero también por la creación de obras de asombrosa ingenieria para sitiar ciudades, demostrando una avanzada vision geopolítica para asimilar las culturas de los pueblos dominados. Es considerado uno de los más grandes genios de la guerra de todos los tiempos.
This book is about the life of Alexander III of Macedon, commonly known as Alexander the Great , the most celebrated member of the Argead Dynasty and the creator of one of the largest empires in ancient history. Alexander became legendary as a classical hero in the mold of Achilles, and features prominently in the history and myth of Greek and non-Greek cultures. He became the measure against which generals, even to this day, compare themselves; military academies throughout the world still teach his tactical exploits.
