Synopses & Reviews
The acclaimed biography of Alexander the Great.
Review
"With sympathetic imagination and masterful scholarly poise, the author sifts fact and legend to give this forthright account of the enigmatic genius of the 4th century B. C. , Alexander the Great. Drawing on sources as primary as one can find, and combining both admirable historical perspective and disarming common sense, this biography is also an engrossing narrative. Many pertinent illustrations, both black and white and in color, add to the intensity of the story. Not only is this first-rate scholarship, it is also a brilliant, handsome, and moving work."
