Alexander: The Boy Soldier Who Conquered the World
Educated by the acclaimed philosopher Aristotle. Leader in the Greek Army by the age of 16. King of Macedonia at 20. Any of these facts could have earned him his legendary moniker, yet these are but a sampling of the achievements of Alexander the Great. Follow the story of this historic leader from royal son to his education in philosophy and military training, through his victorious conquests of Asia Minor and the Persian Empire. Readers may be surprised to learn that many of Alexander's combat strategies are still widely studied and employed today. Period artwork, quotes by and about Alexander, and photographs of ancient artifacts help illuminate the life of this brilliant politician and military genius.
