Supermen
In the fourth of six programmes Anthony Curtis looks at two towering figures, one from the ancient world - Alexander the Great - and one from the modern - Winston Churchill. With their respective biographers, Robin Lane Fox and Martin Gilbert , he raises questions about myth, reality and public Image - how does the biographer hope to arrive at a substantial truth?
