Michael Wood travels over 30,000 kilometres on land, by bus, jeep , train, camel, horse, mule and on foot in a bid to retrace Alexander the Great's epic journey from Greece to India. On the way he experiences what the Greeks went through for himself and uncovers interesting new insights into Alexander's achievements. Alexander's expedition marked a turning point in human history, opening up contact between East and West. Massive destruction and cruelty are weighed against the implications of the historical energies unleashed. Discovering that the legend of Alexander is still alive today, Wood expertly examines the effects and far reaching resonance of the legacy of one of the most visionary leaders in history.
