Alexander the Great

If you want to learn about one of history’s greatest military commanders and uncover some of his secrets of drive—drive that enabled him and his small army to first subdue all of Greece and then the mighty Persian Empire—then you want to read this book.
Some people like to think that geniuses are so inherently extraordinary that they navigate their journeys with clairvoyant ease.
This simply isn’t true.
Greatness does not come lightly. It requires that you make sacrifices of time, interests, and—sometimes—possessions. The further you move toward greatness, the more greatness demands from you.
But all barriers yield to one mythical quality: drive. The will to persist and overcome. To never give up. To never accept defeat.
Few stories better illustrate this better than the life of one of the most extraordinary warriors the world has even known; a man of legendary ambition, will, and grit: Alexander the Great.
