A landmark work in ancient history and archaeology, In Search of the Trojan War chronicles the centuries-long quest to uncover the truth behind one of antiquity's greatest legends. Michael Wood presents a compelling investigation into whether Homer's epic tale of Troy was rooted in historical fact, tracing the archaeological excavations at Hisarlik in Turkey and the pioneering work of Heinrich Schliemann and his successors. With the authority of a seasoned historian and documentary filmmaker, Wood weaves together mythology, Bronze Age archaeology, and Linear B scholarship to reconstruct the world of Mycenaean Greece. The narrative moves with the pace of a detective story, unraveling layers of civilisation buried beneath millennia of soil and myth, making complex archaeological evidence accessible and thrilling for a broad audience.
