From the acclaimed master of historical fiction comes an epic saga about a reluctant hero, the Roman Empire, and the rise of a new faith
'There is nothing impossible to him who will try . . .' Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) was 20 when he ascended to the throne of Macedon. He fought his greatest battles and conquered the seemingly invincible Persian Empire before he was 25. He died when he was 32, undefeated by any enemy. His reputation as a warrior and leader of men remains unsurpassed in the annals of history. Epic in scope and magisterial in tone, this novel is the perfect combination of author and subject: Pressfield, who almost single-handedly reinvented the classical historical novel, tells the story of this icon of the ancient world - brutal avenger of his father's murder, student of Aristotle, commander of genius, ruthless conqueror of nations. No one evokes ancient warfare as brilliantly as Pressfield. Audaciously making Alexander the narrator of his own story, he gives us a vivid and thrilling sense of those brutal and bloody times from inside the mind of this legendary warrior who was driven - and ultimately undone - by his insatiable lust for glory. As immediate and gripping as bulletins from the front line and as intimate and revealing as a private diary, this thrilling historical novel is destined to become a classic.
