| Summary |
"This extraordinary history draws on new discoveries in archaeology to tell the early story of Alexander and his rise--including detail on the tempestuous relationship between Alexander's parents, Philip and the Molossian princess Olympias, his education by Aristotle and the strict military training which would serve him so well in later years. And more than ever, it emerges, the story of Alexander's reign confronts us with difficult questions that are still relevant today--of the relationship between East and West, the legacy of colonialism and the impacts of authoritarian rule"-- Provided by publisher. |
