It  re-examines Alexander’s military victories and personality, while also  exploring the impact of his campaigns on the people he conquered. Alexander’s  story, Stephen Harrison argues, is one that includes the vital roles that  other figures played in historical events. By considering the social and  intellectual currents of the last two decades, Harrison highlights how  changing contemporary experiences shape historical interpretations. Moving  beyond polarized debates about Alexander, he provides a nuanced discussion of  Alexander’s achievements and impact. The book presents an Alexander for the  twenty-first century, offering new insights into how and why historical  interpretations of him have changed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55249123115383,"sku":"9781789149975","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781789149975.jpg?v=1748273793","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781789149975","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
