PRESSFIELD, STEVEN - The Virtues Of War: A Novel Of Alexander The Great
New York, Doubleday. 2004, First Edition. (ISBN: 0385500998) Hardcover. Book, Alexander the Great (356 - 323 B.C.) ascended to the throne of Macedon at the age of twenty. He fought his greatest battles -- including the conquest of the mighty Persian Empire -- before he was twenty-five and died at the age of thirty-three, still undefeated by any enemy. His reputation as a supreme warrior and leader of men is unsurpassed in the annals of history. In the brilliantly imagined first-person voice of Alexander the Great, acclaimed novelist Steven Pressfield brings to life his epic battles, his unerring command of his forces, and the passions and ambitions that drove him. A full-blooded, multidimensional portrait, THE VIRTUES OF WAR captures Alexanders complex character. Alexander was a fearless commander who moved with such daring and speed that no army could withstand him; a driven leader whose ambitions knew no limits; and a man with boundless compassion for his troops, deep friendships with his generals, and profound respect for his enemies. Yet in the end, his noble qualities were subsumed by his insatiable lust for glory. No one writes about battles as brilliantly as Pressfield, and in THE VIRTUES OF WAR he vividly describes the seminal conflicts of Alexanders career, revealing the tactics behind them and capturing the blood, heat, and terror of the battlefield.348p. maps on end papers, else fine.
