Pictures help bring the story to life, and the concise but comprehensive book will keep your kids attention all the way to the end. Over the last 2,000 years, ambitious men have dreamed of forging vast empires and attaining eternal glory in battle, but of all the conquerors who took steps toward such dreams, none were ever as successful as antiquitys first great conqueror. Leaders of the 20th century hoped to rival Napoleons accomplishments, while Napoleon aimed to emulate the accomplishments of Julius Caesar. But Caesar himself found inspiration in Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.), the Macedonian King who managed to stretch an empire from Greece to the Himalayas in Asia at just 30 years old. It took less than 15 years for Alexander to conquer much of the known world. As fate would have it, Alexander died of still unknown causes at the height of his conquests, when he was still in his early 30s. Although his empire was quickly divided, his legacy only grew, and Alexander became the stuff of legends even in his own time. Alexander was responsible for establishing 20 cities in his name across the world, most notably Alexandria in Egypt, and he was directly responsible for spreading Ancient Greek culture as far east as modern day India and other parts of Asia. For the ancient world, Alexander became the emblem of military greatness and accomplishment; it was reported that many of Romes greatest leaders, including Pompey the Great, Augustus, and Caesar himself all visited Alexanders tomb in Alexandria, a mecca of sorts for antiquitys other leaders. History for Kids: The Illustrated Life of Alexander the Great provides an entertaining look at the facts and myths surrounding one of historys most famous men and conquerors, while exploring the lasting legacy he left on the ancient world and todays world. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, your kids will learn about Alexander the Great like never before.
