Author Description

Alexander the Great is one of history's most famous men, and arguably history's most impressive general. Just about everyone in the last 2,000 years who dreamed of military glory looked up to Alexander, who managed to create one of the world's largest empires by the time he was in his early 30s. That empire spanned several continents, and when it was divided after Alexander's death, the history of several different nations and empires was permanently affected. Mahaffy's book is a comprehensive look at Alexander's conquests and the empire he forged.
