This fascinating account, envisages as a virtual film, Alexander the Great's early life tracing events from his birth, through to his boyhood and thence to the brink of manhood. He inherited his father Philip's military brilliance and his mother's beauty and passion, and cunning aptitude for manipulating his contemporaries into performing his bidding. It gives the reader an engrossing insight into what life was like two thousand four hundred years ago. The beliefs and achievements of Alexander the Great are more relevant to our overcrowded and stressed world of today than at any time since he died. Alexander believed in the essential brotherhood of human beings; that we are divided only by our culture. This belief would stand us all in good stead in solving the problems of today's world.
