This book is a detailed account of these two military commanders and their exploits on the battlefield Of Caesar and Alexander the Great.

It was an interesting read and I think it will surely be appreciated by those interested in military history.
It compares life, historical times and military plans of the two generals and it makes it in a fascinating way.
I am not an expert to say if the chosen one was the best one but I enjoyed this book.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A fantastic read for those readers who enjoy military history. The author has successfully written a detailed comparison of two of the greatest historical military leaders. I really enjoyed learning about their early lives and the underlying inspirations to build empires and subjugate the inhabitants of distant lands.
Comprehensive overviews are given of the major battles that each of the protagonists fought. Similarly, detailed facts are provided on the weapon systems and armour that were used by each side during the respective campaigns. The book could be improved slightly if illustrations were provided. of the battle plans, tactics, and the types of weapons used by the troops. I read the Kindle version and am not sure if the hard copy book provides illustrations.
I won't write a plot spoiler naming who the best general was judged to be, other than to say I agree with the author's choice!

NB: free copy received for an honest review

This book pretty much does what it says on the tin: compares the careers and capabilities of two of the most famous military commanders of the ancient world.

And it does that very well. First the author provides extensive data on the world into which each man was born and their lives and achievements, including an analysis of some of their most famous victories. Parts of this can get a little dry, but there are also some very interesting pieces of information. I particularly enjoyed some of the insights into how the physics of phalanx warfare actually worked.

With this background in place, they compare the two men on seven criteria - explaining both why they chose those criteria and how Alexander and Caesar compare - before making their final judgement. I won't spoil which man gets the nod - that's the whole point of reading this, after all!

Recommended if you have an interest in ancient history.
