Alexander the Great
Hans-Joachim Gehrke
7th revised edition 2023
Alexander, born in 356 B.C., was a pupil of Aristotle, a military genius who founded a global empire stretching from Greece to Egypt and India, and a young hero who died at the age of just 33. This biography gives a knowledgeable overview of the elements of Macedonian history and society that were shaped by Alexander, of his impact as a ruler and military strategist – as a ‘liberator’ and a ‘conqueror’ – and of the structural and historical context of his power politics.
