Publisher's Summary
Cantor describes Alexander's ambiguous relationship with his father, Philip II of Macedon; his oedipal involvement with his mother, the Albanian princess Olympias; and his bisexuality. He traces Alexander's attempts to bridge the East and West, using Achilles, hero of the Trojan War, as his model.
Finally, Cantor explores Alexander's view of himself in relation to the pagan gods of Greece and Egypt. More than a biography, Cantor's Alexander the Great is a psychological rendering of a man of his time.

An abridged Life Story of Alexander
I liked the book as it was non partisan and non judgemental book on the live of Alexander. it does not go into deep details but tries to cover major incidents in his life, his strengths and his relationship with his parents, friends, generals etc.
