The age of Alexander and his conquest of the Persian or 'Achaemenid' Empire, which had existed for over two centuries, represents a watershed in the history of the world. This ebook offers a fascinating insight into the achievements of one of the greatest generals ever known. Alexander's conquests are of profound significance.
