The loaded wagons.
The Thracian forces had assembled in the defiles, [Pg 61]with other troops from the northern countries, to arrest Alexander's march, and he had some difficulty in repelling them. They had got, it is said, some sort of loaded wagons upon . . . Read More

I would say that this is the best book that I have read up to date in this year. The author was quite successful in bringing about the chronological events of Alexander, right from his birth to his death, in very simple English, that could be understood by people who yearn to learn about history, ac
**Audiobook** Fortunately I don’t need to have the words to review the book. I’m still shocked by the tales and adventures of AtG. Just read it. Super enjoyable and engaging.
Well written, interesting read. Sad to be reminded so often that “Alexander was one of the worlds most successful murderers” but who can blame the author for that. Alexander’s death has me examining humanity

Though I didn’t know a lot about this man in the past – Alexander always seemed to be a very special character to me. That’s why I picked the book which was first published in 1849!!
Churchill said, “History is written by the victors” – true indeed. Therefore, narrating the stories from such an anci
While this isn't a page-turner, it wasn't a grind. There was a see-saw of "I knew this" and "Didn't know that" facts. I knew that Aristotle was Alexander's tutor. I didn't know that Demosthenes was a vociferous enemy of Philip of Macedon and of Alexander.
Rank and file is a familiar phrase, but it w
