Did Marco Polo really reach China? Explorers Denis Belliveau and Francis O'Donnell set out to answer that question by retracing Polo's steps. The resulting book, In the Footsteps of Marco Polo, is a "richly illustrated companion volume to the public television film [that] chronicles the remarkable two-year expedition of explorers Denis Belliveau and Francis O'Donnell as they sought the answer to this controversial 700-year-old question. With Polo's book, The Travels of Marco Polo, as their guide, they journeyed over 25,000 miles becoming the first to retrace his entire path by land and sea without resorting to helicopters or airplanes."
