N1  - "Revised and enlarged"--T.p. verso; Originally published: Alexander the Great. London : Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1970; Includes bibliographical references (p. [569]-585) and index
N2  - Until recently, popular biographies and most scholars viewed Alexander the Great as a genius with a plan, a romantic figure pursuing his vision of a united world. Green, a Cambridge-trained classicist who is also a novelist, portrays Alexander as both a complex personality and a single-minded general, a man capable of such diverse expediencies as patricide or the massacre of civilians. 14 maps and 2 tables
