I like Alexander, just cause he's awesome. I wonder if the gene pools of Greeks, then Romans, then French, then English, then German... If their great soldiers and thinkers got killed-off.

I second this. A great story and it focuses, as the title implies, on the virtues of the warrior. Lots of those virtues can be applied to entrepreneurship, in my opinion.

Pressfield's books are great. I'd additionally recommend following up the Virtues of War with The Afghan Campaign -- which is also about Alexander, but focused entirely on the time he spent in Afghanistan. There are some astounding parallels to today.
