Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Despite facing the great Persian army on unfamiliar terrain, Alexander engineered a victory that changed the world. Gaugamela was the greatest battle of Alexander the Great, and it gave him control of the Persian Empire. Darius raised a titanic army against Alexander and picked the ideal spot for his cavalry-led force. But the Macedonian created a typically brilliant plan of attack which led to one of the finest victories of his illustrious career.

4.0 out of 5 stars Darius must have been soooo overconfident, August 6, 2006
By Steve A. Johnston (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The computer animation plus narration gave me a sense of tension as to how the battle would be fought. I had never before heard of such unequal odds: 250,000 Persian soldiers and cavalry outnumbered the (well-trained) Greeks 5:1. Alexander even possessed brillance in persuading his army to stand and fight. -- Comparisons might be made with the "You Are There" history series, one which emphasised interviews with critical figures in the event. The combination of the two would likely have elicited a 5-star rating. As is, I still found it compelling.
