The pages of an English translation of Arrians long chronicle were taken along; a Latin edition of Quintus Curtius was picked up on the way; a French edition of Strabo, and Plutarchs Lives were found in the Archeological Museum in Teheran. Aristotles works, both in Arabic and English, were found in Baghdad. A worried Greek minister lent a copy of Demostheness orations, in French. An American archaeologist, Dr. Joseph Upton, then in Iran, lent a copy of Sir Aurel Steins commentary on Alexanders route across the Mekran. More help was gleaned from the fine library of the American University in Beirut. Along the route oriental scholars aided in giving data on the eastern peoples and culture of that time, as well as in restoring the cities as Alexander must have found them. Archaeological details were pieced together to form a rather full picture of all that the Macedonians must have found in their venture into the east.
This book is an endeavor to re-create for the reader today that journey of the Macedonians, under Alexander.
