The Landmark Edition is an excellent idea to enjoy calssical texts. (I own The [Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, Appian, Caesar] The Classics, as here Alexander's Campaigns, are reprinted with annotations and small commentaries accompanying the text. Apendices discuss special historical topics, which facilitate interpretation of the classical texts. Maps and illustrations are added. Definetely a good buy.

This a good book giving you a glimpse of the military tactics of Alexander the great, along with maps of the locations and helpful annotations of the background for a particular context.If you are a military science enthusiast then it is definitely a buy.Regarding the quality of the book I am a bit annoyed, it is semi-used with the edges of outer cover worn out, pages already turned over a hundred times and the surprising thing is inside there is an amazon receipt of the previous purchaser, very sloppy packaging.

What I liked most of this textbook is the number of maps, extremely facilitating the reading of Arrian's account. It absolutely adds to the accessibility of the story and allows the reader to follow -almost literally- Alexander's every step. It makes the whole story thereby much more interesting, also for readers who are less familiar with Arrian as a source.

Absolutely terrible condition for a $40 band new book! Disgusting!
