Alexander the Great by Richard Stoneman
In his brief life, Alexander the Great gained fame as the military genius who conquered the known world. After death, his legend only increased.
“The first full-scale study in over 50 years of the Alexander Romance and its legacy in English. . . Particularly interesting is the author’s discussion of the rich medieval Persian Alexander literature—both Zoroastrian and Islamic—and its influence. This fascinating book belongs in every university and college library.”—Choice * Choice *
