Alexander the Great: Reckless Conqueror

The latest book in the Mystery of History series published by black dog books. The Mystery of History books aim to bring the past to life in an interesting and entertaining way. Alexander the Great: Reckless Conqueror tells the amazing story of a young man who conquered the world. He left home aged just 20 leading an army of 50 000.

This book has the same format as Black Snake with a short piece of fiction at the beginning of each chapter. In these pieces I try to imagine what it was like being a world conqueror. For more information about Alexander the Great click here.
