Description
Throughout the centuries Alexander the Great has fascinated all manner of men all over the owrld. Handsome, youthful, he conquered the entire known world, then suddenly died at the age of thirty-two. The Way Of Alexander the Great is an extraordinary book that in one volume pulls together the scattered images of Alexander and his life, and presents them will all the color and drama characteristic of his time.From Macedonia, to Greece, to modern Turkey, through Palestine and Egypt all who stood in his way were conquered. Then, turning east he set his sights on defeating the greatest empire of the time: Persia. His success was breathtaking. How he managed it, how he conducted himself, and what it all led to are questions that challenge and worry men today as we view our own divided world.
