'Here, Yenne displays his talent for succinctly painting the big picture with a series of fascinating details that make ancient history come alive. Only an author of his experience and capability could render the amazing story of Alexander the Great with such accuracy and feeling. Yenne grabs the reader on page one and doesn't let go until the end. This book will make us yearn for the return of a leader like Alexander to resolve our current wars in the Middle East." —Walter Boyne, Colonel USAF (Ret.) and Former Director of the National Air & Space Museum
