In Search of the Trojan War by Michael Wood

In this book, which is based on the BBC TV series, Michael Wood has made a wide-ranging study of the complex archaeological, literary and historical records which make up the background to the tale of Troy. He has visisted all the key sites and his researches have led him to some original speculations in particular on the part played in the story by the powerful but mysterious Hittite empire. He also comes to a new conclusion about the identity of the legendary city itself, the city which he believes was Homer's Troy.
