Alexander the Great conquered Greece, Turkey, most of Asia (present Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, parts of others) and Egypt in Africa, before age 32. Even now, his innovations in battle continue to be studied.

Usually considered the most successful warrior in recorded history, by most military historians, over 2,300 years ago, Alexander the Great conquered and united all of Greece, and then conquered Turkey and most of the continent of Asia (what is now Syria, what is now Israel, Persia [what is now Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, parts of what is now India, and parts of other Asian countries], and in the continent of Africa, the ancient country of Egypt, all before his thirty-second birthday. His novel and innovative tactics and strategy, to this day, remain endlessly fascinating to scholars, historians, and military leaders. Peter Woodward hosts this thrilling and compelling documentary (with re-creations) which recounts Alexander's life through the narratives of ancient historians and interviews of modern day historic scholars, while also featuring contemporary re-enactments and guided visits of critical historic locations from Greece, to Turkey, to Egypt, and to the countries of the middle east and central Asia.—TrivWhiz
