"Of all General Fuller''s brilliant books, this is his
masterpiece." --B. H. Liddell Hart. In a brief and meteoric life
356-323 BC the greatest of all conquerors redirected the course
of world history. Alexander the Great accomplished this feat with a
small army-no more than 40,000 men-and a constellation of bold,
revolutionary ideas about the conduct of war and the nature of
government. In a style both clear and witty, Fuller imparts the
many sides to Alexander''s genius and the full extent of his empire,
stretching from India to Egypt.
