## Description

Alexander The Great : Philip Freeman: desertcart.in: Books

Review: One of the best accounts of Alexander! - What makes this biography different – 1. The writing style is very smooth. 2. It talks about the tactics and wars fought by Alexander. 3. It’s not boring at all. The long review - Alexander has always been an intriguing historical figure for me. Ever since I was a child, I've had a peculiar interest in knowing about alexander, but I couldn't find any books on him, which were either easy to read or aren't boring historical textbooks. This book by Philip Freeman is the one of the best accounts of Alexander ever written. The writing style is very balanced and intriguing. Most books on Alexander are boring to read and they have way too many author's opinions defining the character of Alexander as good or bad. But this book doesn't dwell on the niceness of Alexander, it doesn't state whether he's good or evil but just presents the facts and leaves it for us to decide the character of Alexander. The book presents the life of alexander in a very detailed manner, but the writing is not boring at all. The descriptions of the countries, the wars, the history, and the battle tactics of Alexander were explained in a seamless manner. Not even at one part did I find the text to be boring. The book chronicles the life of Alexander right from his birth till his mysterious death. It talks not only about all the wars he fought and all the regions he conquered but also talks about his administrative prowess and the ways he spread culture around Asia. Alexander is a man who deserves to be read and studied, because what he's accomplished, conquering most of Asia before celebrating his 30th birthday, is nothing short of astounding. And no other book captures the essence of Alexander than this book by Philip Freeman.
Review: ALL YOU NEED - If you don't know anything about Alexander the great and want to know what he achieved and his chronological life, this is one of the best book to read. The language used by the author is simple and the way he narrated the story is racy. The author also talks about the contradictions of ancient sources and leave the judgment to the readers. Not only about Alexander, the author gives brief introduction to previous kings of his kingdom and the conquered lands so it pretty much covers everything you want to know about Alexander the great and what happened after his death. HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Great Book..about The Great Emperor!
*by G***D on 30 January 2017*

Through anecdotes and deductions from historical evidences the author has spun a tale that is not only fascinating but also gripping till the very end. That the character about whom the author decides to write is none other than the charismatic Alexander does not, in anyway, take away any credit from the writer regarding his efforts to keep the narrative spellbinding. Perspectives of different historians have been quoted with justifications making the contents of the book credible to laymen of history, like me. This is the second book about Alexander that I have read and therefore I would like to venture a bit more to add that this book sticks more to basic facts and does an exceedingly good job at optimising between presenting historical facts in the right perspective and dramatisation of the same for sake of increasing the appeal. What made this book that extra bit more interesting to me was the information about the period post Alexander's death, the break up of the Macedonian empire, the apparent views of the Romans including Julius Ceaser about Alexander and his strategies and also the establishment of the apparent connect between Alexander and the legendary Cleopatra... facts that I was not aware of.
