À propos de cet audio
Cartledge brilliantly evokes Alexander's remarkable political and military accomplishments, cutting through the myths to show why he was such a great leader. He explores our endless fascination with Alexander and gives us insight into his charismatic leadership, his capacity for brutality, and his sophisticated grasp of international politics.
Alexander the Great is an engaging portrait of a fascinating man and a welcome balance to the myths, legends, and skewed history that have obscured the real Alexander.
©2004 Paul Cartledge (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.Ce que les critiques en disent
"Readable and engrossing....Immediate, discursive, insightful, and highly engaging." ( Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)
"With his usual riveting storytelling, Cartledge...narrates Alexander's life and rise to power. Cartledge's knack for bringing history to life makes for an absorbing new biography of the legendary Greek leader." ( Publishers Weekly)

Cautious History
The author here is very frank about the relative lack of reliable sources on one of the most celebrated lives in human history, so he is cautious in his interpretation of Alexander's exploits. This is pleasing, as he separates a lot of probable fact from probable fiction and admits that much detective work and sometimes even speculation is required in order to get to who Alexander was. Good read.
