Alexander the Great The Psychopath Who Conquered the World

He was only thirty-two when he died, yet he had already shattered the known world and remade it in his image. Before there was a Roman Empire, there was Alexander. A golden-haired prodigy who moved faster than rumor, struck harder than any army, and dreamed in scales no mortal had ever dared. At twenty, he inherited a kingdom. By twenty-five, he had toppled the mightiest empire on Earth. By thirty, he stood at the edge of the known world, weeping because there were no more kingdoms left to conquer.
But this is not another glittering tale of the boy-king hero. This is the story of a man who believed he was a god and acted like one. A military genius whose tactical brilliance still haunts war colleges. A visionary who fused East and West centuries before the word "globalization" existed. And a ruthless psychopath whose charm masked a volcanic temper, whose loyalty demands left rivers of blood, and whose paranoia eventually consumed the very empire he built.
Drawing on ancient sources, modern psychology, and forensic-level analysis of his campaigns, "Alexander the Great: The Psychopath Who Conquered the World" strips away two thousand years of myth to reveal the most compelling and terrifying figure of antiquity. You will march with him through the Hindu Kush, bleed with his men at Gaugamela, and stand beside him as he weeps over the body of a friend he may have murdered himself.
This is not the Alexander you were taught in school. This is Alexander as he truly was: magnificent, monstrous, and utterly unforgettable."The man who conquered the world. The monster who could not conquer himself."
