Travelling with Lebanese traders, Iranian pilgrims and Afghan guerillas, by jeep, train, boat, camel and on foot, he interweaves the momentous events of the past with present day reality and brings us new insights into a man whose myth and acheivements still resonate down the centuries"We saw things I can scarcely believe. We took shelter for the night with an Afghan warlord who had delivered pizzas in the United States, and were hauled off to jail more than once. It was one of the great experiences of my life" - Michael WoodAdditional Tags:Megas Alexandros Alexander the Great Makedonia Macedonia Greece Hellas Hellenistic Greek Hopelites Phalanx Cavalry War Warriors Infantry Persian Empire King Darius Iran Arab Egypt Africa Near East Tajikistan Afghanistan Mountain Hazrati Sultan Sogdia
