Alexander the Great: The Anabasis and the Indica by Arrian (Paperback)

This Oxford edition presents Arrian's Anabasis, the most detailed surviving account of Alexander the Great and his twelve-year conquest of an empire stretching from the Danube to the Punjab. Arrian, a Greek writer, commander and statesman, tells the story with real narrative drive. Martin Hammond's readable new translation brings out its literary qualities, and the volume also includes the Indica, making it a complete resource for readers of ancient history.
