A Young Man's Quest to Rule the World

Alexander the Great built an empire that extended from Europe to Africa and on to the Himalayas.
Famed historian John Gunther tells the story of this famous adventurer who, at the age of twenty-one, becomes King of Macedonia and sets off on a twelve-year adventure to conquer the known world and to extend the boundaries of Greek civilization.
From the time he cleverly tamed a dangerous warhorse as a young boy, people recognized his potential. Go with this young king and his army of cavalry, archers, and foot soldiers across seas, mountains, and deserts and into fierce battles against huge armies. Witness Alexander's remarkable talent for strategy and leadership, as well as the many palace intrigues that surrounded him. While his life was cut short at a young age, Alexander's achievements changed the course of history forever.
