Anything with Alexander the Great will capture my attention. He was a powerhouse in the ancient world. However, upon reading this book, I found that I was disappointed on many levels.
While Alexander DID push the boundaries of his territory far beyond what had been done in the ancient world to that point, much of what was through some of the foundations that his father put into place.
As a historian, I felt that there were several places where information could have been laid out better, while giving more credence and credit to Alexander's father - and even more so - to the troops that fought, followed, and died to create this empire.
There are so many different theories around Alexander, but I felt this barely scratched what should have been done.
