Summary: Excellent work on Alexander's military campaigns
Comment: Fullers work is a laudable work on the military campaigns of Alexander. It is a very easy to read book with thoughful analysis of each battle. He begins the book not on Alexander but his father and traces the rise of the Macedonian power that would be passed on from Phillip II to his son Alexander.
The book is very well divided into two main parts then broken down again into very well thought out sub sections. This makes for a pleasant read and also makes it easy for reference or research. It is well written and should be able to be read and understood by the average High School student but with enough analysis and detail for a more advanced reader to peruse through and not lose interest. I recommend this book to any student not only of Alexander but also to any student of military history.

Summary: Finally, an even-handed source on Alexander!
Comment: While most historians who choose to write about one of history's great generals (Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, etc.) take a definite stance on their view of the general as a person, Fuller manages to be unbiased and purely analytical in his description of Alexander the Great. Instead of being influenced in his interpretations of ancient sources by the images of either "Alexander the tyrant" or "Alexander the Great," Fuller analyzes all of the major campaigns of Alexander's career and draws conclusions based only on facts (often discounting facts which are not verified across several ancient primary sources). I found this book enlightening and more than worthwhile to read.

Summary: he was the greatest
Comment: This is a well-written book.People will find why he is called "the Great"(AND NOT Genghis Khan for sake!).I would also
recommend J.Keegan's "the Mask of Command" where he presents
a wonderful parallelism of what a 18th century figure would look like:he would have started from a small village in Scotland and
eventually ended his journey in Russia after winning every major
European super-power of his time!(and not nomads and tribes as Genghis Khan did).A great book indeed.
