About this listen

A conqueror, a king, a legend.

Few figures in history have captured the imagination like Alexander the Great. A military genius, visionary ruler, and cultural bridge between East and West, his conquests reshaped the ancient world. But what was the true extent of his ambition? How did his empire-building efforts leave an enduring mark on civilizations? And what can we learn today from his triumphs—and his failures?

In Alexander the Great: An Interconnected History, this masterfully researched and comprehensive account goes beyond traditional biographies to examine the broader context of Alexander’s life. Through a seamless blend of historical storytelling and in-depth analysis, this book explores:

The World Before Alexander – Understanding the Macedonian kingdom, Greek rivalries, and Persian dominance that set the stage for his rise.

The Conquests That Shaped History – Step into the battles, strategies, and political maneuvers that allowed him to build one of the largest empires of antiquity.

Beyond the Battlefield – How Alexander’s policies on governance, diplomacy, and cultural integration created a lasting Hellenistic world.

The Succession Crisis & the Fragmentation of an Empire – What happened after his death, and how his generals reshaped his legacy.

The Man vs. The Myth – Separating fact from legend, exploring how Alexander has been remembered in ancient and modern times.

Who Should Listen to This Book?

  • History enthusiasts seeking a fresh and interconnected view of Alexander’s life.
  • Scholars and students looking for an authoritative, well-researched examination of his impact.
  • Listeners fascinated by leadership, military strategy, and the cultural intersections of the ancient world.
