"Defeating the mighty Persian Empire at the age of 22, Alexander the Great rapidly conquered the rest of the then known world: Asia Minor, Egypt and parts of India. This book traces the career of the young king of Macedonia who was destined to become one of the greatest generals the world has known, and celebrates his legacy to Greek civilization." --Publisher description.
