Are there any books out there that celebrate conquest and unscrupulous self-empowerment in a vivid, compelling way? Basically a less autistic 'Might is Right'? Fiction or non-fiction - doesn't matter.

Tamburlaine the Great by Marlowe
>Nature, that framed us of four elements
>Warring within our breasts for regiment,
>Doth teach us all to have aspiring minds.
>Our souls, whose faculties can comprehend
>The wondrous architecture of the world
>And measure every wand’ring planet’s course,
>Still climbing after knowledge infinite
>And always moving as the restless spheres,
>Wills us to wear ourselves and never rest
>Until we reach the ripest fruit of all,
>That perfect bliss and sole felicity,
>The sweet fruition of an earthly crown.
