In November 333 B.C., twenty-three year old Alexander of Macedonia led his army against the Persian Host of Darius, which outnumbered the Greeks by more than 2 to 1. The Battle of Issus, which saw the comprehensive defeat of the Persians, is a case study where strategic brilliance and daring deliver a battlefield triumph. Alexander's victory over Darius was the beginning of the end for Persian hegemony in the Near-East, and began the Hellenization that would dominate the region for more than 500 years. Narrated by Brian Cox The Great Commanders Series
Every epoch produces a general of exceptional brilliance. Six of the most pivotal battles in history are recreated and analyzed by military historian David Chandler using contemporary sources, 3D animation, re-enactment and expert commentary.
