"The World's Leading Conquerors" by W. L. Bevan is a historical account published in the early 20th century. This work explores the lives and conquests of some of the most significant military figures in Western history, including Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon, among others. It aims to provide a concise narrative on these conquerors, their strategies, and the historical impact of their actions. The opening of the book introduces Alexander the Great and sets the stage for his rise to power following the assassination of his father, Philip of Macedon. It discusses the political fragmentation of the Greek city-states and how this environment allowed Macedon, under Philip and later Alexander, to dominate Greece. The initial chapters highlight Philip’s military innovations and the subsequent turmoil leading to Alexander's swift consolidation of Macedonian rule, framing the context for Alexander's future conquests and illustrating his complex relationship with power and violence at a formative age.
