Alexander: The Ambiguity of Greatness

By Guy MacLean Rogers

I've looked at a few books about Alexander the Great (323 BC) and most of them have been very dry and most of it is about his battles. This is the first book that I've seen that's very nicely written. I enjoyed it very much. Much is actually not known about him (even if he was poisoned when he died at the age of 33) because most of what was written about him during his lifetime had been lost or destroyed.
