Description

Alexander the Great led soldiers from his perch atop Bucephalus. He commanded the largest army the world had even known. He ruled a kingdom that stretched across two continents. Before he was 30, he was the richest man on the planet. He would know love and loss, but he'd never know an end to his ambitions. Only his death ended in conquest. Today, generals still study Alexander's battle plans. Manuscripts preserved at libraries he founded were used by historians to give us a record of his life. He was more than just a king. He spread democracy. In many ways, he was more of a liberator than a conqueror. - from Amzon
