University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, 1997. XIII,220p. Bound wrps. Nice copy. Unbekannter Einband `Written for the general reader, this book is a distillation of Hammond`s prior scholarship on Macedonia and Alexander.1 Both professional and lay audiences remain fascinated by Alexander the Great. Books and articles appear at a dizzy pace, and exhibitions, even of small scope, draw a public eager to understand the magnitude of his conquests and accomplishments. Hammond`s approach to his subject is that of the influence of great men on the course of history. It is an approach that has generally fallen out of intellectual currency whereas a contextual approach is more accepted. An underlying assumption in this account is that by reason and deduction one may arrive at the `truth` about Alexander.` (JANET BURNETT GROSSMANN in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.11.17). 12, [PU: University of North Carolina Press]<
