Various quotes and information from the sites are given beneath their URL. The author also critically evaluates and analyzes these Internet sites.

From the Paper
"The name Alexander the Great should tell anyone embarking on the study of a historical figure that this was someone who did important things during his time. In the study of historical figures one can choose to focus on a famous person or an infamous person with close to the same results. Lots of information exists about the historical person in question. Internet sources abound with biographical information, accomplishments, problems and other elements of that person's life. Now and again however, a historical person is so colorful that there is information that both exalts that person's life and criticizes it at the same time. This was the case with Alexander the Great. As a boy he was fearless, as a man he was powerful but according to many Internet research sites he also had a side of him that was extremely self centered and vain which prompted the actions he took.

Abstract
The paper explains why made Alexander the Great was one of the finest military commanders in history. The composition and organization of the army are analyzed and his tactics used in his four great battles.
From the Paper
"Alexander the Great ascended to the throne at a time when the Macedonian empire was at a crossroads, yet within ten years of coming to power in 336BC Alexander was within striking distance of the Indus valley after destroying the greatest empire the world had ever seen up to that point. The noted military tactician and historian J.F.C Fuller says of Alexander's succession to the throne, "When Philip was assassinated Alexander was barely twenty years of age and as yet so inexperienced and untried that it seemed to all Greece that the Macedonian empire was about to dissolve." The description of Alexander by Arrian as "always masterly" says a lot of his capability as a general, but Alexander had inherited numerous advantages from Philip II. This essay will seek to demonstrate whether or not Alexander was a tactical genius or not, on and off the battlefield. I will now go on to discuss the advantages that Alexander had inherited from Philip II."
