In 334 BC a young king of Macedonia, not yet twenty-five, led his army across the sea into Asia to challenge the largest empire on earth. In barely a dozen years Alexander the Great won battle after battle - Granicus, Issus, Gaugamela - toppled the Persian Empire, founded the city of Alexandria, and marched as far as the war-elephants of India before his own exhausted soldiers forced him to turn back. He died in Babylon at just thirty-two, and his empire was torn apart by his generals within a generation - yet the Greek-and-Eastern world he opened shaped history for centuries. This is the true story of history's most famous conqueror - and an honest reckoning with the legends, from the Gordian knot to the disputed mystery of how he died.
