Alexander the Great

John Lee's narration is nothing short of stellar, lending an air of authority to every word. His deep, resonant voice captures the gravity and drama of Alexander’s exploits, from the siege of Tyre to the battle of Gaugamela. The pacing is impeccable, maintaining a steady momentum that keeps you engaged throughout the 15-hour journey. However, there are occasional moments where the narrative feels overly academic, detracting slightly from the narrative flow. Despite this minor quibble, Everitt’s insightful exploration of Alexander’s legacy remains a must-listen for anyone interested in ancient history or political leadership. A gripping and enlightening experience that will leave you questioning the nature of greatness.
