The Virtues of War: A Novel of Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.) ascended to the throne of Macedon at the age of twenty. He fought his greatest battles - including the conquest of the mighty Persian Empire - before he was twenty-five and died at the age of thirty-three, still undefeated by any enemy. His reputation as supreme warrior and leader of men is unsurpassed in the annals of history. In this brilliantly imagined first-person voice of Alexander the Great, acclaimed novelist Steven Pressfield brings to life his epic battles, his unerring command of his forces, and the passions and ambitions that drove him.
