The Army of Alexander the Great by Nick Sekunda

The Army of Alexander the Great by Nick Sekunda. This is a somewhat thin history of Alexander the great's army. The tactics as well as different units are described. Like other Osprey titles much is made of the uniforms of the soldiers. Unfortunately there isn't much material to go on so a lot of the book is based on a couple of sources. When best guesses are made the reconstruction is acknowledged so full points for that. Still it's pretty apparent the author was straining to get to the correct length.
