Title: Without Alexander would we know Socrates?
Review: The Good : If Alexander had not made such an impact on the world there might not be any record of the teachers he learned from. If Persia had conquered Greece would Rome have ever built it's roads?It's hard not to make a bio on Alexander interesting. What made this book stand out was Savill's branching into topics that are often left untouched by more straight forward bios that avoid the spiritual & mystical speculations. Alexander's possible view of monotheism was of particular interest. Even if you not religious it's worth looking at the Book of Daniel from chapter 7 to 11 while reading this book.The Bad : If you are a die hard skeptic of unseen forces, some of the authors musings will frustrate you.
