| Sumario: | Alexander the Great's life and career are here examined through the major issues surrounding his reign. What were Alexander's ultimate ambitions?

And was his death natural or the result of a murderous conspiracy? Each of the key themes, arranged as chapters, will be presented in approximately chronological order so that readers unfamiliar with the life of Alexander will be able to follow the narrative. |
