About This Item
London and New York: Routledge, 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Inscribed by John Maxwell O'Brien on the title page. In the last seven years of his life, Alexander the Great grew increasingly unpredictable, sporadically violent, megalomaniacal and suspicious of friends as well as enemies. This biography of antiquity's most renowned conqueror differs from others in its detailed assessment of Alexander's psychological development. O'Brien's pursuit of his subject explores every imaginable detail, discussing Alexander's cultural tastes, religious beliefs, parents, aspirations, exploits, fears, sexuality, and alcoholism. Octavo: 336 p. with 4 maps. A near fine copy in a clean and bright dust jacket.
