About This Book

A collection of English translations of ancient historians presenting the campaigns of Alexander as he advanced into regions corresponding to Afghanistan, the Punjab, Sindh, Gedrosia, and Karmania. The translations recount marches, engagements, encounters with local peoples, and the logistical and environmental hardships faced along the routes. Extensive editorial material — including introductions, annotations, maps, and indices — accompanies the narratives to clarify geographical references and to correct earlier identifications of obscure places mentioned by the classical authorities.
