Using as his principle source material the Anabasis of Alexander by Arrian, Lamb has cobbled together not only a straightforward retelling of the exciting adventures of the Macedonian, but he has also deftly reconstructed those hidden events of which history is silent. The result is a remarkable portrait of a young man thrust into the leadership of a semi-barbarous Greek people. This is the story of that whirlwind of physical and mental energy which was to explode across the surface of the known world. In the end, it was the civilization of the East which captured Alexander. His untimely death a mere dozen years after his accession to power robbed mankind of one of the most compelling visionaries who ever lived.

From beginning to the end is a terrific listen and it holds you by the throat at times as you find yourself sitting at council with Alexander and his men, next you are in the heat of battle, and than you hear the faint talk of men in the camp as your eyes slowly close by the crackling fire.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Alexander of Macedon?
When he first exerts his will in asking for his horse, Bucephalus.Have you listened to any of Charlton Griffin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, Louis XIV at Versailles. Both were excellent. His voice can be a little overpowering at times but is very easy to listen to.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
NoAny additional comments?
Excellent history of Alexander. The author tries to be fair and informative about what is history and what is myth and tells the story of this incredible man in a very entertaining and engaging manner.I really can't recommend it highly enough.
What an Amazing Man!
