Description:This history of Ancient Greek warfare vividly chronicles the struggle for control of the Macedonian Empire, a fateful time of change in the Ancient World.As the story goes, Alexander the Great decreed from his deathbed that his vast Macedonian Empire should go "to the strongest". What followed was an epic struggle between generals and governors for control of the territories. Most of these successors--known as the Diadochi--were consummate tacticians who learned the art of war from Alexander himself, or from his father, Philip. Few died a peaceful death and the last survivors were still leading their armies against each other well into their seventies.These conflicts reshaped the ancient world from the Balkans to India. In two volumes, The Wars of Alexander's Successors presents this critical period of ancient warfare with all its colorful characters, epic battles, treachery and subterfuge. This first volume introduces the key personalities, including Antigonos "Monopthalmus" (the One-Eyed) and his son 'Demetrius 'Poliorcetes' (the Besieger), Seleucus 'Nicator' ('the Victorious') and Ptolemy "Soter" ("the Saviour"). It also gives a narrative of the causes and course of these wars from the death of Alexander to the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, when the last two original Diadochi faced each other one final time.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
