In the Footsteps of Alexander The Great is a BBC production regarding the life and achievements of one of the greatest military leaders and strategists that ever lived. His tactics are still studied in today's military academies.

Wood retraced the travels of Alexander the Great, from Vergina in Macedonia, where his father Philip II of Macedon died and Alexander was proclaimed king, through seventeen present-day countries to the borders of India and back to Mesopatamia, where he died. Whereas most of Wood's documentary series had titles beginning "In Search of...", the title
of this series reflected a slightly different approach.

It was written and presented by British historian and broadcaster Michael Wood.
Directed by David Wallace.
Composer: John Eacott
