The young Alexander : the making of Alexander the Great / Alex Rowson. by Rowson, Alex. William Collins, 2023.

Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  Alexander the Great's story often reads like fiction: son to a snake-loving mother and a battle-scarred father; tutored by Aristotle; a youth from the periphery of the Greek world who took part in his first campaign aged sixteen, becoming king of Macedon at twenty and king of Asia by twenty-five; leading his armies into battle like a Homeric figure. Each generation has peered through the frosted glass of history and come to their own conclusion about Alexander. Yet the first two decades of his life have until now been a mystery -- a matter of legend and myth. This book draws on new discoveries in archaeology to tell the early story of Alexander and his rise -- including detail on the tempestuous relationship between Alexander's parents, Philip and the Molossian princess Olympias, his education by Aristotle and the strict military training which would serve him so well in later years. And more than ever, it emerges, the story of Alexander's reign confronts us with difficult questions that are still relevant today -- of the relationship between East and West, the legacy of colonialism and the impacts of authoritarian rule. Drawing together modern archaeological discoveries, this book brings Alexander's ancient world back into focus. Genre:  Biographies.
