Alexander the Great
by Carole Wilkinson (Author)
At just 20 years of age, Alexander led an army of 50,000. He defeated armies five times the size of his own, leading the most dangerous charges himself. He conquered most of the known world but left thousands of people dead or enslaved. In Persia he was known as Alexander the Accursed.
Was he a brilliant warrior or a ruthless invader?
"Carole Wilkinson tells the story of Alexander's 32 years of life, battle by battle, murder by murder, feat by feat with an eye for the memorable and telling detail... This is an extremely well written, thoughtfully constructed and appropriately open-ended historical account. Highly recommended." [Reading Time, Vol. 49 No. 1]
