Recensioner i media

History and fiction meld in a spectacular new series retelling thrilling tales from past eras, all with the benefit of the latest research. In the launch title, a young boy from Macedonia becomes a brilliant though flawed leader of men. Sandbrook demonstrates that the facts don't stand in the way of a good story: they enhance it.
