More than 2,300 years ago, Alexander the Great crossed into Asia, crushed the Persian Empire, and discovered a highly developed civilization along the banks of the Oxus River. In Alexander's Lost World intrepid photojournalist David Adams explores the footprints of this ancient world, now almost entirely erased, to reveal what it would have looked like to the young conqueror. Following the course of the Oxus, Adams passes through Taliban territory and some of the most inhospitable terrain on Earth.
