By Pete,
The Diggley Dell, Micronesia, Federated States of
"From Macedonia through Persia, into Afghanistan, down through Pakistan and India. In typical Wood style of his 'in search of' books, he takes us on the mind boggling journey, even finding modern day remnants of Alexander's army."
"This book is interesting, but I already know much of the stuff they're talking about from studying Alexander. I think it'd be very, very interesting for someone who doesn't know as much about Alexander as I do, but for me, it got kind of boring."
