ALEXANDER AT THE END OF THE WORLD The Forgotten Final Years of Alexander the Great

Robert Petkoff holds a steady course through an audiobook that links the legend of Alexander the Great to archaeological evidence and an array of histories, classic and modern. Alexander is arguably the most celebrated, most storied, most enigmatic figure in ancient history. Most historians focus on the Macedonian general's early conquest of the Persian Empire, slighting his later, problematic, campaigns into central Asia and India in quest of "Ocean" and the end of the world. Petkoff skillfully handles a narrative that's richly dramatic and insightful but packed with names, battles, and geographical detail. Petkoff's narration is highly listenable, and this rewarding audiobook will appeal equally to those who know a great deal about Alexander, or nothing.
