I would say that this is the best book that I have read up to date in this year. The author was quite successful in bringing about the chronological events of Alexander, right from his birth to his death, in very simple English, that could be understood by people who yearn to learn about history, across the world.Alexander (B.C., 356-336), son of King Philip of Macedonia, the northern province of the then Grecian territory, has been a prodigal son right from his childhood. He was under the able tutorship of Aristotle until the age of sixteen, but soon took keen interest in accompanying his father, in wars. His inborn traits of leadership, camaraderie, nobleness, organizing skills, ferociousness, and great thirst to conquer the world has made him one of the greatest warriors of ancient history, which is narrated in every history book of the world with great awe.He was highly successful in conquering each and every nation in his voyage towards the East of Macedonia, with an army as small as just 50,000. His empire consisted of almost all kingdoms of Thebes, Thessaly, Athens, Sparta, entire Persia, Egypt, Gaza, Tyre, Afghanistan and some parts of northern India. All this, just within the age of 32 years. In his great voyage of ruthless conquests, he plundered each and every kingdom which opposed him but treated all those who surrendered with great nobility and kindness. His main target of capturing his great rival King Darius of Persia could be achieved but he repents later for being responsible for the fall of such a great kingdom. He, over a period of time, when he reached the age of around 28 years, yielded to worldly pleasures like wealth, wine and women which led to his downfall in character and great qualities, for which he was adored, worldwide. At one stage, after conquering Egypt, he even went to the extent of declaring himself as the descendant of God Jupiter and wished to be called as Son of God.He ultimately loses all his friends and those who accompanied/assisted/protected him throughout his great voyage due to his vices. At one point even his great army refused to go with him further, as they lost confidence in his leadership and nobleness. This morally degraded Alexander to a great extent and he one night, put himself to intense alcohol consumption, after which he falls terribly ill, and dies due to multiple organ failure, and mostly confidence to live further. His vast kingdom broke into pieces of independent kingdoms after his death, only to remember him as the greatest and cruelest thief of the world.Positives: A great book of knowledge of Alexander’s history, beautifully written, describing each and every phase of his life in minutest of detail. The reader would not like to put off the book until he finishes it at one go. The adventures of young Alexander and his speeches are very enticing to know. One gets to know about many ancient places, towns, cities and terms of history, which are regarded as the marks of great civilizations, wars and kings in those days. A great learning experience to young and old as to how the fire in one’s belly to achieve something can get him to the target with careful and able planning, organizing, directing and controlling ones emotions, skills, environment and resources available to him or her. At the same time, Alexander’s deplorable end teaches one, as to how arrogance and power, can bring him down in no time, however great he could be! A must read by every young person and get inspired by the magnificent traits of Alexander the Great.Negatives: The author suddenly ended Alexander’s voyage with the death of King Darius. His further adventures beyond Persia into India were not described. There seemed to be equal interesting and fascinating facts to be revealed in the Indian subcontinent. That would have justified his complete voyage in a single stretch.My rating is 4.75 out of 5
The history of Alexander the Great has already been written. The book is far too simplistic and naive. The book adds nothing creative or interesting to the great life of Alexander. I would pass on this and look for something more historically interesting.. just about anyone can write an overview and who wants to spend time reading it?
We enjoyed this book, read aloud with 4th grader. The graphics did not come through on the kindle at all, I suppose I should've given a lower rating for that but because of quality of older literature I left it high. There is a moral voice from the author which I enjoyed, he can be quite wordy, Alexander was a real rebel rouser, not someone who would be highly esteemed today, but well worth the historical connection between the ancient world coming into the time before Christ. We laughed at the absurdity of some stories such as the man who came to greet him as he was about to plunder the city. Alexander did not like the city so he vowed to do the opposite of what the man might say as a deal. The man said, we welcome you to attack our city, and so he decided to let them be, something to that effect, much better read from the story than my short memory!
I went on a tour of Asia Minor last month and visited several of the old cities conquered by Alexander the Great. After listening to the tour guide talking so much about Alexander, I decided to check this book just for facts-checking. This is a good book, easy to read, and easy to follow. Note that on the kindle version the links to the maps are not working.
So before I read this book I knew of Alexander the Great (most people do) and I knew just a tiny bit about his life and actual conquest. For a free book on my Kindle it was perfect! I had a desire to understand a historical person that is well known and this book goes through his life and conquests in an interesting and easy to understand way.The maps not opening was very annoying. Some of the reviews complain about this being a huge problem but I don't think you can complain about a free book. It definitely would have been nice to see on a map the places that Alexander and his army went. It would have probably been even more useful as far as having a good understanding of the history, but you can go online and see some maps if you really want to. The book definitely deserves a fair 4 out of 5. If your looking for a nice overview of Alexander the Great that is not boring reading and very informative then I think you've found it.
The book itself is very well written. I don't know a whole lot about J. S. Cabot, but I really enjoy his style.Beware that he is a moral writer and doesn't fail to pass judgements on to the heros of each narrative. I personally enjoyed these little tangents. It may not be the most scholarly piece of work, but it's engaging and makes me desire to know more about the subjects of his work.My only complaint is the lack of pictures. Cabot took a lot of time to put works of art and other pieces in the book and they are all missing save for the description. I guess you can't really complain for a free book.
I have read other books from the "Makers of History" series by Jacob Abbott & John S. C. Abbott. They are not exceptional books - relatively no insight into the title characters of the books. But they are a general outline and time-line of the historical figure's life and accomplishments. And since they are free on Kindle - it's a fine start.
Among the things pointed out by the author is the fragility of truth in tales from centuries B.C. At various points these are obvious. They quickly become a fixture in the mind as an ever-present plausibility. It is fascinating to read of the conquests of Alexander and to realize that he was a borderline barbarian - so close to rising a notch higher. An interesting and entertaining read. The lack of maps is easily overcome.
