• (In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great series, Part 1) A pivotal event in world history was the creation of a Greek empire stretching from the Balkans to India. British historian Michael Wood sheds new light on the events of 334 to 323 B.C. as he journeys across 2,000 years and sixteen countries. This BBC series retraces Alexander's 20,000 mile expedition that first joined East and West. A portrait emerges of Alexander the Great, an extraordinary young man who set out at age 21 and conquered most of the known world before he was 30. In this first episode Michael Wood traces the route of the young Alexander and his Greek army as they set out to invade Asia and overthrow the Persian Empire.
