A unique compilation of more than one thousand concise biographies of those involved in the campaigns of Alexander the Great, and the struggle for power after his death. From leading commanders in Alexander’s army to the nobles of the Persian Empire, and the many other individuals he encountered throughout his life and reign, these complete and balanced biographies are drawn from the literary and epigraphic sources of the age. First published in 2006, this version has been expanded and substantially revised to widen the human and political landscape in which Alexander moved. The only work of its kind, this is an essential guide to a fascinating and pivotal historical era, and to one of history’s most successful military commanders.

Frank A. Chadwick
5.0 out of 5 stars Everything it claims to be
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023
Verified Purchase
This is a remarkable resource on the late-classical/early-hellenistic era, a series of 1,174 biographical scetches of effectively every Greek and Persian named in every surviving ancient spource covering the lifetime of Alexander and his immediate successors. The scetches are concise but complete, some running to several pages, and all include the citations to the specific ancient sources providing the information, so it is also an excellent starting point for additional research. When modern interpretations concerning the ancient sources disagree, those disagreements are summarized as well. It concludes with sixteen pages of diagramatic family trees. An indisensable book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have For Alexander/Macedonian Scholars
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2022
Verified Purchase
Precisely detailed by one of the foremost scholars and academics in the study of Alexander, his successors and Ancient Macedonian studies, this who's who is precisely that. Who is who in those times, their deeds and accomplishments, and how they fit into the bigger picture. Excellent reference material.
