Beginning with a chapter on the arms and armies of the successors to Alexander to Great and the military culture in the years after Alexander's death, this work goes on to discuss major battles of the era, from the Lamian War (323-322 BC) to Ipsus (301 BC), focusing on issues of tactics and strategy. It then examines the specializations of siege and naval warfare. Finally it discusses warfare on the periphery of the Alexandrian world. Distributed in the US by Casemate.
