Volume I. Anabasis of Alexander, Books 1-4

Arrian's Anabasis of Alexander is the fullest ancient account of Alexander the Great's conquests and long admired for its absorbing presentation and readable style. It is here supplemented by "Indica," a description of India that draws on Nearchus's exploration for Alexander. Brunt's introduction and notes provide full historical background, making this edition an "important contribution to the study of Alexander" (Ernst Badian, Classical Philology).
