The Invasion of India by Alexander the Great as described by Arrian, Q. Curtius, Diodoros, Plutarch and Justin: Being Translations of such portions of the Works of these and other Classical Authors as describe Alexander's Campaigns in Afghanistan, the Panjâb, Sindh, Gedrosia and Karmania

A carefully edited collection of ancient accounts, this volume gathers the surviving fragments of Arrian, Curtius, Diodorus, Plutarch and Justin that recount Alexander’s bold push into the lands of Afghanistan, the Punjab, Sindh, Gedrosia and Karmania. The translations are paired with helpful notes, clear maps and a glossary of unfamiliar terms, allowing readers to follow the march of the Macedonian army as it meets the rugged terrain and the peoples of the Indian sub‑continent for the first time.

The narrative captures the clash of cultures, the strategic challenges of crossing mighty rivers, and the early negotiations with local rulers that set the stage for the legendary campaigns. Designed for both scholars and curious listeners, the book balances rigorous scholarship with an engaging storytelling style, making the ancient world feel vivid and accessible without venturing beyond the opening phase of Alexander’s Indian expedition.
