In a breathless tale of the extraordinary Alexander the Great, a master storyteller recreates the high drama which was this infamous demi-god's life. Here is the handsome young prince who chose books over the beautiful young women and men sent to tempt him; the youthful conqueror who ordered bloody massacres but grew sick with self-loathing afterward; the brilliant general who battled his way into the unknown to learn the mysteries of life; the ascetic who brought his people richness and luxury beyond their wildest dreams; the despot who, in a dozen years, altered the entire thrust of history; the heir to a kingdom no mortal had ever before dared to claim Similar books: Genghis Khan by Harold Lamb The Nature of Alexander by Mary Renault Alexander the Great by Paul Cartledge Alexander the Great by Robin Lane Fox Hannibal by Harold Lamb Conquest and Empire by A.
