Alexander the Great: The True Story of the Life & Time of the Ancient Military Leader

Do you want to learn more about the great military leader Alexander the Great, but don’t have time to read huge, long biographies? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of his life.

When it comes to ancient history there are some names that will never be forgotten, and Alexander the Great is without doubt a perfect example of this timeless phenomenon. But beyond his rather illustrious title, few people could tell you very much more about Alexander, except perhaps that he was rather partial to conquering, had an amazing horse and died very young. What’s more there’s no debate about any of this, Alexander the Great can be traced with relative ease to a time and place where anything was possible for those who dared to try.
Following in the footsteps of Alexander the Great doesn’t require an encyclopedic knowledge of Ancient Greece, or a specialized Classical education, because he certainly left his mark wherever he travelled, keeping the trail alive to this very day. We are talking about a young man who discovered that he had the world at his feet, and then tragedy of tragedies, didn’t know what to do with it. This truly is a remarkable story from the past that has a real resonance for the present and future, and during this journal you’ll hopefully get to know “Alexander” a “Great” deal better.
