Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In this study, Bosworth looks at Alexander the Great's activities in Central Asia and Pakistan, drawing a bleak picture of massacre and repression comparable to the Spanish conquest of Mexico. He investigates the evolution of Alexander's views of empire and concept of universal monarch, and
documents the representation of Alexander by historians of antiquity. The book is directed to specialists and general readers alike.
