Philip and Alexander: Kings and Conquerors

byAdrian Goldsworthy

In Philip and Alexander, Adrian Goldsworthy presents a biographical portrait centered on kings and Conquerors. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
