The Generalship of Alexander the Great by J.F.C. Fuller

The Generalship of Alexander the Great by J.F.C. Fuller. This is a classic account of this Greek Empire builder. The narrative is broken up into two sections. The first section is a strategic overview of Alexander's various campaigns. The second portion consists of thematic chapters about tactics, siege craft, Alexander as a politician and his command style. There is quite a bit of material crammed into this book. Fuller certainly did a lot of research. The conclusion attempting to make this discussion relevant to modern decision-makers falls flat. He ends up ranting about World War II which seemed a little out of place.
