On Alexander's Track to the Indus: Personal Narrative of Explorations on the North-West Frontier of India

The remarkable Aurel Stein embarked on an expedition to retrace Alexander the Great's triumphant invasion of India. Stein's tale has justifiably achieved cult status for the dangers and hardships he encountered; for the light it sheds on Alexander's journey; and for the information it provides about archeology, art, culture, and religion. Richly illustrated with black-and-white plates and maps drawn by Stein himself. "...a gripping piece of on-the-ground research...Stein's photos are an amazing record of cultures and societies of that fascinating region and his tale is a fantastic journey..."--Michael Wood.
