Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

A fascinating and incredibly readable account of the incredible sweeping field campaigns of one of history's greatest generals and leaders, while I'm sure you know a lot about the man himself, this book goes into detail about his military campaigns and numerous triumphs which usually don't get as much attention.

While some information you will have definitely heard of before, there are some new insights and information found here that makes it a worthy read for any fan of military history, or anyone looking to dip their toes in the water. While the book does give great detail into tactics and strategies it does so in a way that is readable and understandable for even the newest fans of military history.

For the reader who wants to discover Alexander’s great battles this book will probably be too much of a book with a point to make to be a good introduction, but for those who already have some knowledge of the topic it could be an interesting read leading to others in order to make one’s own opinion on the value of Mr English’s views.

English begins by explaining his methodology and examining the surviving sources. This is a very valuable section of the book, allowing the reader to judge the success of the rest of the text.

The author's main aim is to produce coherent battle narratives that make sense of the often contradictory primary sources. I'm not entirely convinced by all of his conclusion, but in each case English explains his reasoning and includes the relevant primary sources, allowing the reader to come to his own conclusions. Having said hat, most of his suggested solutions make sense, and his arguments are well made. English clearly knows his material very well, giving his arguments and conclusions a great deal of credibility.

This is an excellent conclusion to a very useful series, and helps to explain why Alexander was so successful against so many different opponents.

Already an acknowledged expert on Alexander the Great, this third volume by English looks at the various specific campaigns in a way comparable to studies of English and American Civil War battles and campaigns. It's thorough, very readable, and scholarly.
