Explore the legend of Alexander the Great through fascinating text and hundreds
of full-color photographs of artifacts, paintings, statues, archaeological
sites, and more. A man plans and nearly achieves his superhuman dream-the
conquest of the world-then dies at thirty-three, leaving an enduring legacy of
myth and legend that continues to fascinate historians, novelists, filmmakers,
and general readers. Following the arc of Alexander the Great's vision, from his
Kingdom of Macedonia through his march to the ends of the known world, this book
gorgeously presents a detailed account of Alexander the Great's short but
astonishing life, handsomely covered with explanatory drawings of his most
important battles.
