Greece Editorial Review
"Alexander the Great" by Paul Cartledge is a gripping and informative biography that reads like a story, bringing the legendary leader and the world he lived in to life. While many books have been written about Alexander, this one stands out for its readability and ability to present new facts about the leader, while also addressing his significant shortcomings. The book not only covers his military exploits, but also gives attention to his personal life, character, and relations with other historical figures. While it would have been better with the addition of detailed maps, this book is an easy and entertaining read that won't disappoint any reader interested in the topic.
