Alexander the Great Worthington IanPaperback
Alexander the Great conquered territories on a superhuman scale and established an empire that stretched from Greece to India. But how great is a leader responsible for the deaths on tens of thousands of people? He spread Greek culture and education throughout his empire, and was worshipped as a living god by many of his subjects.
A man who believed he was a god, who murdered his friends, and recklessly put his soldiers lives at risk?Ian Worthington delves into Alexander's successes and failures, his paranoia, the murders he engineered, his megalomania, and his constant drinking. A ruler who prefers constant warring to administering the peace? It presents a king corrupted by power and who, for his own personal ends, sacrificed the empire his father had fought to establish.
