This biography searches through the mass of conflicting evidence and legend to focus on Alexander as a person, revealing the tough, resolute, and fearless leader who understood the intense adventure of conquest and the unknown. When Alexander died in 323 BC, his vast empire comprised more than two million square miles, spanning from Greece to India.
