Annotation | Alexander the Great was undoubtedly one of the greatest commanders of all time. John Warry, an expert on ancient warfare, this book examines in detail the most important battles of Alexander's campaign. Gradually analyzes the struggle for Gráníku, Issa, Gaugamél, Hydapsu or difficult siege of Tyre. This careful study also illuminates the Macedonian tactics, especially the cooperation of the phalanx of riot cop with fast cavalry. Attention is paid to alexander's soldiers and their Persian enemies, their armament and equipment. The book thus offers an interesting perspective not only on the war exploits of Alexander, but also on life in his time. The publication includes a DVD with the film Alexander the Great. |
