About this audiobook
Alexander the Great is the most famous king and conqueror known in the ancient world. In his lifetime, he was given honors equal to those of the gods. After his death, he became a legend and the "Alexander Romance" became the best-selling fiction of the medieval world. Esteemed Professor Robin Lane Fox has made the study of Alexander of Macedon the focus of his brilliant career. In these lectures, Professor Fox answers questions about Alexander that have percolated throughout history: Why did Alexander succeed? What was he like? How did he change the world and its history?

Very happy with purchase, it was quite enlightening. The author is expert in the field of Alexander and as he says probably the only historian to charge an elephant on horseback, without a saddle (Fox was actually in the movie Alexander). There are quite a few audio books on Alexander I'm sure, this one is maybe more suited to those seeking a detailed account of the young Kings life. It's not such a long audio file, but it is packed with information, I don't think anyone would be dissapointed.
