Changes

Heckel, W., & Tritle, L. A. (Eds.). (2009). <i>Alexander the Great: a new history</i>. Chichester, U.K. ; Malden, Mass: Wiley-Blackwell. This work is a relatively recent revaluation of the popular themes regarding Alexander. This includes his sexuality, military style, and influences.

Demi. (2010). <i>Alexander the Great (1st ed)</i>. Tarrytown, NY: Marshall Cavendish. This is a storybook to teach the little ones about one of history's game changers.

Freeman, P. (2011). <i>Alexander the Great</i>. New York: Simon & Schuster. Considered today to be the easy reading and more captivating historical presentation on one of history's great figures. Freeman uses his strong presentation skills to grip the audience to know more about Alexander.

Arrian, Mensch, P., & Romm, J. S. (2010). <i>The Landmark Arrian: the campaigns of Alexander</i>. Anabasis Alexandrous: a new translation (1st ed). New York: Pantheon Books. One of the battlefield books. This exposes in detail the 12 odd years of campaigning that Alexander took to conquer much of the known world.

Briant, P. (2010). <i>Alexander the Great and his empire: a short introduction</i>. Princeton: Princeton University Press. One of the best books out there. It looks at the complex influences and history. More than the West dominating the East, Briant shows Alexander learned much from his enemies and that changed the world.

Romm, J. S. (2011). <i>Ghost on the throne: the death of Alexander the Great and the war for crown and empire</i>. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. We think of Alexander's life as nothing short of amazing. However, his death plunged his empire into chaos and out of the dust new kingdoms emerged. In many respects, it is the death of Alexander that also changed the world and this book explains how.

Martin, T. R., & Blackwell, C. W. (2013). <i>Alexander the Great the story of an ancient life</i>. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Another book that looks at the complexities of Alexander and the totality of his humanity, from warrior to deep thinker.

Lane Fox, R. (2005). <i>Alexander the Great</i>. London: Penguin. This is written in a more novel style, very much like Freeman's later work. Again, a relatively easy read.

Randall, B. (2004). <i>Alexander the Great: Macedonian King and conqueror (1st ed)</i>. New York: Rosen Pub. Group. A more classical presentation that looks at Alexander's background, his upbringing, and how these influence him as he sets about on his campaigns.

Engels, D. W. (2007). <i>Alexander the Great and the logistics of the Macedonian army</i> (Nachdr.). Berkeley, Calif.: Univ. of California Press. This is a great book for those interested in military warfare. An army wins through its stomach and supplies and this book explains how Alexander conquered this unseen enemy.
