Traces the life of the warrior king of Macedonia who conquered and united the known world of his time.

Alexander III of Macedonia, whom history came to call "the Great," was one of the most talented military generals who ever lived. By the time of his untimely death, at age thirty-two, in 323 BC, he had conquered an enormous portion of the known world. His empire stretched from Greece eastward to India and encompassed dozens of diverse peoples with separate languages and cultures. Moreover, he spread Greek ideas and customs throughout these lands, affecting their political and social development for many centuries to come. It was not merely Alexander's military and political successes that distinguished him, however. A larger-than-life character in every way, he was driven by unrelenting ambition and the recurring fear that he might die young, before he could achieve his many lofty goals. He also believed that he was semidivine. Few historical figures have been as widely feared, loved, hated, discussed, and immortalized in human memory as he. Book jacket.

Alexander was one of the best military leaders history has ever known, conquering most of the world known to the Greeks despite dying at a young age.
