'Alexander The Great' chronicles the life of one of the greatest figures in history: from his birth to parents Philip II of Macedonia and Olympias, through to his death at the age of 32. It was a life in which he achieved greatness and came to be regarded as a god by the 40,000 men who, for eight long years, were prepared to follow him to the ends of the earth.
Combining legend and myth with daunting reality, this book charts the dream of a man who was prepared to walk to the end of the earth and who was willing to crush anything that stood in his way.
