All I can say this was an interesting book about Alexander the Great. It is clearly well thought out and research.

Started reading this just a few days ago and stormed through it. This is the kind of book that frequently kept me up until 4am because I couldn't put it down. It is heavy on military and political strategy so if that's not your thing you might struggle. As to the gay romance between Alexander and Hephaistion, the romance is depicted on page though isn't centre-stage and sexual scenes occur off page.
