 | irishgit (146) 09/06/2007 | Did pretty well for a juvenile, sociopathic thug.
Used a well executed combined arms methodology to crush a static Persian empire.

 | Akuni (0) 02/23/2006 | He was great, but genghis Khan could have kicked his ass. But not only was he a great strategist and greater tactician, but he was a great leader. 5 stars

 | HistoryFan (98) 01/16/2006 | He conquered most of the known ancient world at an age when most of us would be suffering a midlife crisis while wasting away in a cubicle from 9 to 5. Unfortunately, he died too young.
Not to say he was a nice guy. He did kill those who stood in his way.

 | damo (0) 10/10/2005 | I dont now how people can give him a one. If they were in his shoes they would have been killed instantly. He led his army all the way to the end of the Indus, there was nothing left for him to conquer.

 | alpepper (21) 03/16/2005 | Like Rocky Marciano, went undefeated. Kicked the tar out of X-Man Xerxes and just about everyone else who faced him. Proof positive that fudgepackers can succeed in the military.

 | weedie (1) 06/04/2004 | Did not conquer the world. Conquered the Persian Empire. Alexander and Ceasar conquered far less territory than Genghis Khan, who conquered most of Asia.

 | Dwayne_Wade (0) 04/04/2004 | He might get more stars if it wasn't for his alternate lifestyle, and his height, he was very short. As for being a good military leader, he was nearly the best, but there were some better, as in Caesar. He was a very very good strategist though.

 | loye (0) 04/25/2003 | Alexander the great no doubt was one of the most charismatic individual that ever lived, his achievments as a military commander are awesome and his personal character was exemplary, he represents the brotherhood of man, a man as man should be , he is an ideal and a true man.

 | BlackMagicMM (0) 03/16/2003 | Possibly the greatest general of all time. Led his soldiers into battle and conquered all of the known world at that time. He deserves to be at the very top of the list. He had the largest empire that the world had ever seen. Nobody else in all of history had conquered the known world. This one man did it with his army. At a very young age of I believe 17, put revolutions in his father's country at bay. He was so good that his father became jealous and tried to silence and hide him. This is the best military leader of all time.

 | CanadaSucks (48) 11/17/2002 | Malaria finally killed the invincible Alexander in his early twenties. . .Alexander the Great stretched the known boundaries of the Western Civilized World. These boundaries existed up until the time of Columbus. Probably the most famous of Socrates' pupils but I should check my books on that. Simply a model for military historians.

 | abichara (62) 03/24/2002 |  Alexander was a scholar and a conqueror. In his short life time, he only lived 33 years, Alexander managed to conquer the entire known world. He was a master administrator in the battlefield. When Alexander conquered a territory, he respected the local belief and social structures of the area. This allowed him to maintain a cohesive empire. One of his more noteworthy victories was against the Persians and Darius III, where he singlehandedly brought down the greatest empire of the day, making Macedonia the predominant power. He set out to civilize the areas he conquered by implanting classical Greek culture. This system was a precursor to Roman conquest methods that also seeked to indoctrinate foreign peoples to their ways. Alexander was a trailblazer for his times. After he died, the empire split up between his generals, who squabbled over the division of their lands. This was in effect the dissolution of all of Alexanders work. That is why historians don't give Alexander's exploits so much credit; his empire did not last the test of time. But nonetheless, he changed the world.

 | Chaotician23 (0) 03/24/2002 | Alexander the Great, as his name declares, was great. Many belittle his aichievments, even ginding his voyages uninteresting. They look for Caesar, Napolean, or even the voyages of Bill Clinton, but Alex the Great conquered a lot more than people know. He conquered Egypt, one of the mightiest empires ever, than ruled it, educating it. He conquered Mesopatamia, Asia Minor, all of it. He wasn't even leading a specific country. He was a royal Greek but he wasn't leading the Atheninians or anything. He lead ythe greatest campaign ever.
