Tough, resolute, fearless. Alexander was a born warrior and a
ruler of passionate ambition who understood the intense adventure
of conquest and of the unknown. When he died in 323 B.C.E. at age
thirty-two, his vast empire comprised more than two million square
miles, spanning from Greece to India. His achievements were
unparalleled--he had excelled as leader to his men, founded
eighteen new cities, and stamped the face of Greek culture on the
ancient East. the myth he created is as potent today as it was in
the ancient world.
Robin Lane Fox's superb account searches through the mass of
conflicting evidence and legend to focus on Alexander as a man of
his own time. Combining historical scholarship and acute
psychological insight, it brings this colossal figure vividly to
life.
