Alexander the Great (356–323 B.C.) ascended to the throne of Macedon at
the age of twenty. He fought his greatest battles—including the
conquest of the mighty Persian Empire—before he was twenty-five and
died at the age of thirty-three, still undefeated by any enemy. His
reputation as a supreme warrior and leader of men is unsurpassed in the
annals of history.
In the brilliantly imagined first-person
voice of Alexander the Great, acclaimed novelist Steven Pressfield
brings to life his epic battles, his unerring command of his forces,
and the passions and ambitions that drove him. A full-blooded,
multidimensional portrait, THE VIRTUES OF WAR captures Alexander’s
complex character. Alexander was a fearless commander who moved with
such daring and speed that no army could withstand him; a driven leader
whose ambitions knew no limits; and a man with boundless compassion for
his troops, deep friendships with his generals, and profound respect
for his enemies. Yet in the end, his noble qualities were subsumed by
his insatiable lust for glory.
