He was twenty years old when he set out to conquer the world. He never lost a battle.

Alexander was a boy in the small, tough kingdom of Macedon when he tamed Bucephalus, the warhorse no grown man could ride. His teacher was Aristotle, the most famous thinker in Greece. His father built the deadliest army the world had ever seen - and when Alexander inherited it, he pointed it at the mightiest empire on earth and simply kept going: Egypt, Persia, all the way to the rivers of India, founding cities that still bear his name.

This is the true story of Alexander the Great, told for young readers who love real history: the Gordian Knot, the battles against impossible odds at Issus and Gaugamela, the march across deserts and mountains at the edge of the known world - and the mysterious death at thirty-two that left his generals to carve up everything he had won.

Perfect for readers 8-12 who want history that reads like an adventure - because this one really happened. Full-color illustrations in every chapter.
