He became king of Macedonia at age 20 but no kingdom could contain the ambition of Alexander the Great. Commanding the best-trained fighting force in the world, he conquered the great cities of Greece. Then he led his armies into the Persian Empire, embarking on the greatest military adventure of all time. He would carve a 12,000-mile path across Asia, defeating princes, satraps, and kings. Along the way, he became a legend.
