Review
Bucephalus' Tamer.
Harold Lamb is a skilled history writer. He specializes in biographies of outstanding characters; these are some of his works titles: "Hannibal", "Genghis Khan, The Emperor of All Men", "Tamerlane, The Earth Shaker".
He combines a carefully well-researched background with plausible dialogs. His books are never boring and at the same time historically accurate. This is a very satisfying combination.
"Alexander of Macedon" is not an exception to his writing pattern, follows Alexander's story since his birth up to his death. Some famous anecdotes are presented with masterful hand as the taming of Bucephalus and Alexander drinking the alleged poison cup from the hand of his doctor.
Battles and conquests; ambitions and destiny fulfillment; ideals and driving forces; all the components of Alexander's path through his glamorous life are described in this short book.
I strongly recommend this title to teenagers who want to learn something from Ancient History and at the same time avoid dry academic texts.
