'Alexander the Great ascended to the throne of Macedon at the age of twenty. He fought his greatest battles and conquered the seemingly invincible Persian Empire before he was twenty-five. His reputation as a warrior and leader of men is immortal, unsurpassed in the annuals of history.'

Steven Pressfield tells the extraordinary story of this true colossus of the ancient world - avenger of his father's murder, student of Aritotle, commander of genius, ruthless conqueror of nations. 

Audaciously making Alexander himself the narrator of his own story, Pressfield gives us a vivid and thrilling sense of those brutal and bloody times from the inside the mind of this legendary figure, a complex, charismatic man driven - and ultimately undone - by his insatiable lust for glory.
