Alexander the Great
John Gunther
This has got to be one of the better children’s biographies ever written. John Gunther tells the story of Alexander’s life with excitement and high-level interest, all the while leading you to think about the growing unrighteousness in his life. He does all this without ever sounding preachy or moralistic. Of course, it’s out of print, but this one is worth the effort to find.
Lesson Plans Introduce this book following chapter CIII: The Death of Alexander, in The Story of the Greeks.
