Average rating

4 out 5

Famously tutored by Aristotle, Alexander ruthlessly established himself as Macedonian king in the 300s BC, setting about continuing his father’s wars against the Persian Empire. This work presents the incredible story of a brilliant military tactician who is bent on taking over the world.

A nice historical and humorous view on Alexander the Great's life. and it isn't one of those big clunky (auto)biographies either.
