Alexander at the End of the World: The Forgotten Final Years of Alexander the Great

A riveting account of Alexander the Great's final years, where his insatiable ambition led him on an exhilarating, harrowing journey that would define his legacy.

By 330 B.C.E., Alexander the Great had seemingly achieved everything—defeating the Persian ruler Darius III and capturing Persepolis. But instead of returning home, Alexander pressed eastward, embarking on a perilous seven-year journey through the unknown eastern lands of the Persian empire. Facing deadly monsoons, extreme temperatures, formidable adversaries, and dissent within his own ranks, Alexander's relentless drive to reach the end of the world pushed him to his physical and mental limits.

In Alexander at the End of the World, renowned classicist and art history professor Rachel Kousser brings Alexander's treacherous final years to life with vivid detail. Meticulously researched and grippingly written, this biography is a tale of daring adventure, ambition, and the lasting impact of a leader who refused to turn back.
