Account of author’s explorations tracing the routes and stages of Alexander the Great’s Eastern Campaign on the Indian North-West frontier. To Stein, the North-West region of India was the meeting point of the East and the West since Alexander the Great and it played an important role in spreading Greco-Buddhism across Asia. He revisited all the important historical sites of Alexander’s invasion, and retold the story behind accordingly. The book covers a large array of subjects, from antiquity research to geography to art and literature of Buddhism. The region beyond the Indian North-West region was previously inaccessible to the foreigner, and Stein’s account was the first substantial European account on the region. Profusely illustrated with 97 black and white photographs, including two folding panoramas, and two large folding maps at rear.
