Why didn't Alexander launch a surprise attack on the Persians?
There could be no surprise. His father Philip 2 had been planning and preparing an invasion of the Persian Empire for several years, and on his assassination his son Alexander took over and got it rolling again. The Persians knew what was coming and had enrolled 10,000 Greek mercenaries to bolster their army. All that changed was that the Macedonian invasion by Alexander was delayed for a year as he had to put down revolts in Greece to secure his rear. The well-aware Persians waited.
Did Alexander the Great free the Persian citizens?
Primary sources (such as Arrian) say that there is some evidence in supporting this question of whether or not Alexander saved the Persian citizens, however repetitions of facts among sources point to some understanding that he did offer them some so called "freedom" in J.R Hamilton and a year 13 classics document i picked up that Persian's, with Alexander as king, were given benefits that were inevitably co-operative with the Persians, their religion and way of living and gave them advantages in the kingdom. The "freedom" could be exposed as such a general statement though and may contradict with other statements said about the Persians and the system they lived by. If you look at the way Darius ruled the Persians, then at the way Alexander ruled the Persians you could draw conclusions of "Freedom" from there.
