4.0
A comprehensive view of Alexander, covering social, religious, cultural, and military aspects to provide an entire picture of the man. Presented in what I've come to think of as the "old style" of histories, Cartledge takes a thematic approach rather than chronological so it's probably not the best first history of Alexander to read. I give it 4 stars for comprehensiveness and will keep on my shelf for future reference but probably will not re-read in its entirety.
