audiobook The Egyptian Book of the Dead. by From Arcturus Publishing in History

Description

Perhaps the most famous commander of the ancient world; Alexander the Great; and his battles and victories; never cease to fascinate those with any interest in Ancient Greece. He was aged only 20 when he became king of Macedon; but he had already begun to show the military genius that would win him future victories against the mighty Persian Empire.In an epic campaign lasting 11 years; Alexander traveled thousands of miles through deserts; plains and forests; fought huge battles; and besieged many cities to become the master of a massive empire stretching from Greece to India. He died prematurely at the age of just 33; and no man could hold together the empire he had created. A god in his lifetime; his name is still world-famous millennia after his death. This book examines Alexander's campaigns in detail; and his victories - and the tactics that ensured them - are explained and described with the help of maps; illustrations and reconstructions to bring the epic career of one of the ancient civilization's greatest generals to life.
