"This course examines not only the career of Alexander but also the historical, military, and social conditions that produced this greatest of conquerors. We journey through the world that Alexander inhertedc, the world that he manipulated, and the world that he left in his wake. In the process, we peel back centuries of misrepresentaions and mythologies to discover what we can about the man behind the name"--Course guidebook cover, p.[4].
