Alexander the Great launched a conquest of the Persian Empire in August 334 BC, with his army consisting of 10,000 phalanx and phalangites, equipped with long pikes and fighting in formations up to 16 ranks deep. These grizzled veterans were the mainstay of the Macedonian army. Facing them were the myriad armies of the peoples that made up the Persian Empire, with the Immortals being the elite infantry, armed with spears and bows. In this study, a noted authority assesses the origins, combat role, and battlefield performance of Alexanders phalangites and their Persian opponents in three key battles of the era – the Granicus River, Issus, and Gaugamela – at the dawn of a new way of waging war.
