Alexander the Great lived over two thousand years ago, yet he continues to fuel passionate debate. He has been seen as a leader and visionary unrivalled in history; but evidence also exists that the young idealist wrought terror and destruction across Asia, and in the end became corrupted by power.
Using the ancient historians as his guide, Michael Wood retraces Alexander's amazing journey from Greece to India. On the way he experiences first hand what the Greeks went through, and uncovers exciting new insights into Alexander's achievements. Michael Wood recreates one of the most important journeys ever made, as seen in his BBC Television series.
