The Campaigns of Alexander

"The Campaigns of Alexander," also known as "The Anabasis of Alexander," offers a detailed, chronological account of Alexander the Great’s military pursuits and conquest of the Persian Empire, authored by Arrian of Nicomedia in the second century AD. Comprising seven books, the work traces Alexander's rise to power in 336 BCE through to his final year and death, emphasizing military strategy and events along the way. The title and style draw inspiration from Xenophon’s classic account of Cyrus the Younger’s campaign.
