Summary:	Alexander -- the youth, the man, the god -- is shown in all his complexity: his strategic ingenuity as he conquers armies ten times the size of his own; his magnanimity as he lifts the vanquished to positions of respect; his fury as he throws a javelin through the heart of his favorite youthful warrior turned traitor; his courage as he moves on alone when his army forsakes him; his wisdom as he rapidly grasps the difficult Eastern philosophies.
