Did you know that Alexander the Great was barely in his 30s by the time he had conquered all of Asia Minor?

Alexander of Macedon was only 33 years old when he died, leaving behind him a sprawling empire of impressive size, which encompassed dozens of different people groups, religions, cultures, customs, and - of course - problems. Naturally, Alexander is well-known as a figure, but how well do we really know him? How much of his fascinating story is true, and how much is mere legend? 

Historians of repute have tried, for centuries, to decode Alexander’s life and answer all the burning questions above. Sadly, the common listener knows very little of the real Alexander, yet all of that is about to change with this handy little volume right here!

You’ll find out just why so many other great politicians, generals, and future conquerors saw this Macedonian youth as the go-to inspiration to reach for the stars.
