Summary: A Good Guide to Personalities and Operations
Comment: Bennet and Roberts have compiled a masterful (even if somewhat densely and disjointedly written) guide to the various generals that served with and followed in the wake of Alexander the Great. Their excellent command of the available ancient sources makes this a "must-have" resource for anyone interested in studying the era immediately after Alexander's death. One warning, however, the subtitle "Commanders and Campaigns" should be taken seriously, as there is precious little detail to be had here below the campaign/operational level. I presume, since this is called "Volume I," that a "Volume II" with tactical details on specific engagements is meant to follow at some time in the near future. This would be much appreciated, as books covering tactical combat in this era are rare: A.B. Bosworth[ASIN:0199285152 The Legacy of Alexander: Politics, Warfare and Propaganda under the Successors] only touches on the subject and Bezalel Bar-Kochva[ASIN:0521206677 The Seleucid Army: Organisation and Tactics in the Great Campaigns (Cambridge Classical Studies)], though much more detailed, is restricted to a shorter period and single theatre. Still, the present volume remains a gold mine of other information and is not to be missed by anyone interested in warfare under the Sucessors.
