The Virtues of War | Steven Pressfield

2 posts | 3 read | 5 to read

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Steven Pressfield's The Profession. I have always been a soldier. I have known no other life. So begins Alexander’s extraordinary confession on the eve of his greatest crisis of leadership. By turns heroic and calculating, compassionate and utterly merciless, Alexander recounts with a warrior’s unflinching eye for detail the blood, the terror, and the tactics of his greatest battlefield victories. Whether surviving his father’s brutal assassination, presiding over a massacre, or weeping at the death of a beloved comrade-in-arms, Alexander never denies the hard realities of the code by which he lives: the virtues of war. But as much as he was feared by his enemies, he was loved and revered by his friends, his generals, and the men who followed him into battle. Often outnumbered, never outfought, Alexander conquered every enemy the world stood against him–but the one he never saw coming. . . .

The Virtues of War | Steven Pressfield

I am an Alexander the Great admirer, and love reading about his adventures. This is a wonderful, way to read about Alexander and where he went, who he fought, and even what he may have thought. Pressfield (always) does a splendid job with historical fiction - enough fact to make it believable but the reader still comprehends that this IS fiction. I recommend wholeheartedly. āāāāā
