Arrian's own experience as a military commander gave him unique insights into the life of the world's greatest conqueror. \u003cbr\u003eHe tells of Alexander's violent suppression of the Theban rebellion, his defeat of Persia and campaigns through Egypt and Babylon - establishing new cities and destroying others in his path. While Alexander emerges as a charismatic leader, Arrian succeeds brilliantly in creating an objective portrait of a man of boundless ambition, who was exposed to the temptations of power.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128393805982,"sku":"UBD-9780140442533","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140442533.jpg?v=1786540167","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140442533","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
