The Lost City of Alexander the Great
Shortly after 9/11, award-winning journalist, filmmaker and author Hamilton travelled into northern Afghanistan with a TV news team and found himself on the frontlines of the war against the Taliban.
On a high mountain that overlooked the Taliban positions, he discovered the area held the ruins of a 2 000-year-old city founded by Alexander the Great. He tells a fascinating illustrated story of his journey into war, memory and
ancient history, which became the basis of his novel, House of War.
