He was dubbed "the Iceman", and his discovery - along with the realization that he was actually 5000 years old - set off a whilrwind of political, scientific and media activity that made him an overnight sensation. In this volume, Brenda Fowler takes the reader through the bizarre odyssey that began in the Stone Age and continued for years after the Iceman was unearthed.
