Media reviews

"This title provides a detailed analysis of the battle. Alexander's 5,000 cavalry routed a force of 20,000 Persian cavalry. This victory was the springboard for the subjugation of the coastal cities and ultimately the conquest of the Persian Empire." -Neoproprealism (May 2008)

"For those who are interested in the life of Alexander, this is an excellent book that shows just how well he was able to plan and execute his campaigns. A book that is interesting to all and one I know you will find enjoyable to read." -Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (August 2007)

UK/New York: Osprey, 2007. First Edition. Soft Cover. Fine. 7x0x9. Hook, Richard. First edition. A fine copy. 2007 Soft Cover. 96 pp. Granicus River was Alexander's first great victory over the Persians, where he demonstrated the heroic style of active and decisive leadership that was the hallmark of his career. After assuming the throne of Macedonia in 336BC and consolidating his hold on mainland Greece, Alexander crossed the Hellespont to face the Persians at the steep banks of the Granicus. In the initial engagement, Alexander's 5,000 cavalry, supported by archers and javelin men, routed a force of 20,000 Persian cavalry. Leading the charge, Alexander came close to death, narrowly missing having his head split in two, but eventually triumphed, allowing his infantry to massacre the Greek army, which was hired by the Persians. This convincing victory was the springboard for the subjugation of the coastal cities, the neutralization of the Persian navy, and ultimately the conquest of the… Read More
