This is the wonderful biography of Alexander the Great who was one of the greatest military leaders of the world. Alexander the Great, one of the greatest conquerors of all time, never lost a battle. Before he was thirty, he had conquered most of the known world, building an empire that included the Mediterranean, most of Europe, and touched the borders of India. Alexander's legacy extended beyond his military conquests - he encouraged international trade and spread Greek culture, arts, language, philosophy and science throughout his empire. No wonder he is called Alexander 'the Great'.
