Title: Not accurate, historically incorrect.
Product review: It is disappointing indeed to read history from people who are not historians. This book is an inaccurate work, one-sided and definitely not recommended for a person who is interested in Greek history. Alexander was a great general and a "cosmopolitan" who first implemented the vision of globalization. It is sad to read wrong interpretations and poor descriptions for the life of a great man who carried a great civilization to the world. I would advise Mr. Wood to study Greek history from some great historians before attempting such a work. But I understand that this is a trend of our times, to stuff the reader with thrill and violence, neglecting or masking historical truth. It is easier and sells better, I agree. But I personally dislike this style and would thus recommend the conscious reader to definitely avoid this book.
