'His mind was clear. It was time to go east. Time to march into Asia, to confront the Persians and to meet his destiny...'

With historian Dominic Sandbrook as our guide, join Alexander on his incredible journey through the deserts of Egypt and over the snow-capped mountains of Persia all the way to India, defeating all who stand in his way.
