Warrior king

Zoroastrians bear a grudge for a long, long time: about 2300 years in the
case of Alexander the Great, still unforgiven for his sacking of Persepolis.
Michael Wood’s In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great examines old quarrels and
works out the military smarts of the Macedonians in a great tale retold.
