Query: This is should not be called a "biography"

This book basically covers Alexander's father; the political situation during Alexander's reign; and the group that orchestrated his assassination. This book does not address his birth, growing up/relationships with siblings; tutoring; how he met his wife; his marriage; how he related to his children when they were adults, etc. You never get a sense of what made him "tick" or what kind of person he really was because no detail is provided on his personal life. I have read other books by this author and that is why I was surprised that this book is even called a biography. Why was Alexander the Last Great Tsar? -- I still don't know because nothing is mentioned to address this. If you think that this is a real biography, do not buy it. If you are interested in how a small group of people coordinated his assassination - then this is the book for you.
