"In the course of their career, Iron Maiden have consistently been at the forefront of Heavy Metal, with a catalogue of dozens of recordings loved by music fans worldwide.
While the band has been the subject of several biographies, none have focused on the importance of their lyrics in telling some of the most important stories in world history  until now.
Join Lauro Meller on a journey from prehistoric times right through to the Gulf War, with stopovers to witness some of the major events that have shaped our societies and cultures along the way. We’ll also get to meet some of history’s most colourful characters, including Alexander the Great, Elizabethan alchemist, mathematician, astrologist and astronomer Dr John Dee, and legendary Japanese Samurai Miyamoto Musashi.
This is world history as it has never been told before  through the lyrics and music of Iron Maiden, one of the most influential Metal bands of all time.
