He built an empire, and history counts him as one of the outstanding few, yet how many can clearly state what it is he actually did? In Alexander : The Conqueror, Laura Foreman tells who he was, what he did, and how he did it. She recounts his military achievements and his role as ruler, and delves into his psychology and personal life. She also explains the world in 4th century B.C.E., as well as the cultures of the people he conquered."
