Thanks for the tip on the books. I was over at amazon.com bookmarking a number of them. Peter Green was another author they recommended, along with Robin Lane Fox.

About ten years ago, Michael Woods (the PBS guy) wrote the excellent "In the Footsteps of Alexander". I'll check my library, maybe they have a VHS copy of that PBS series.
