Alexander the Great

"Alexander the Great" recounts the remarkable life of the Macedonian king, from his youth and education under Aristotle to his accession to the throne at twenty. Abbott follows Alexander through his early conquests in Greece, his great battles against Persia, and the creation of an empire stretching from Greece to India, presenting his life not only as a tale of military genius but also of ambition, legacy, and the relentless pursuit of greatness.
