Ghost on the Throne: The Death of Alexander the Great and the Bloody Fight for His Empire by James S. Romm

Ghost on the Throne by James S. Romm is a history of what happened after the death of Alexander the Great, when the empire he had built was left without a clear successor.

The book follows the struggle among Alexander's generals and family as they fought for control of his vast territories, showing how a moment of succession turned into years of rivalry, shifting alliances and war. It treats this period as a turning point in ancient history, in which the shape of the world that followed Alexander was decided not by one ruler but by the contest between those who claimed his inheritance.

What readers will explore:

• The death of Alexander and the problem of succession
• The rival generals and their competing claims to empire
• Alliance, betrayal and war in the years after Alexander
• How the post-Alexander world took shape from this struggle

Who this book is for: Readers interested in ancient history, Alexander the Great, and the politics of empire and succession.
