With In Search of the Trojan War, Michael Wood brings vividly to life the legend and lore of the Heroic Age in an archaeological adventure that sifts through the myths and speculation to provide a privileged view of the riches and the reality of ancient Troy. This edition includes a new preface, a new final chapter, and an addendum to the bibliography that take account of dramatic new developments in the search for Troy with the rediscovery, in Moscow, of the so-called Jewels of Helen and the re-excavation of the site of Troy which began in 1988 and is yielding new evidence about the historical city.

Book excerpt: The tale of the siege of Troy is perhaps the greatest non-religious story ever told. It has haunted the Western imagination for nearly 3,000 years. But there is another story almost as exciting - the story of the modern quest for the reality behind Homer's epic poems. Was there ever an actual siege of Troy?. Did Helen, Agamemnon, Paris and the other Titanic characters really walk the Earth?. 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 visited all the key sites and his research has led him to a new conclusion about the identity of the legendary city itself, the city which he believes was Homer's Troy.
