Greek and Macedonian Land Battles of the 4th Century B.C. Fred Eugene Ray Jr
I suspect it will make me go back to the primary sources and revisit Phillip's army list.

After finishing "War in the Early Modern World" I then picked up "The Golden Rhinoceros" by Francois-Xavier Fauvelle-Aymar a series of short essays about Medieval Africa, each one drawing from an original source. I really liked it Yesterday I started "Pulp" the latest Osprey Wargame, a simple skirmish game set in the pulp action era. I finished it today and am planning to give the rules a try. I have now started "Latitude: The Astonishing Adventure That Shaped the World" by Nick Crane. It tells the story of the French expedition to the Equator to determine the shape of the earth (Newtonians believed it bulged at the poles, Cartesians believed it bulged at the equator). Cheers

I finished 'Latitude' yesterday and have now started "Warfare, State and Society in the Byzantine World, 565-1204" by John F. Haldon - another in the Routledge "Warfare and History" series. I took delivery of a few of these in early January last year so will be ploughing through them now.
Cheers

Getting stuck into Max Hastings’s Operation Pedestal. A while since I’ve read one of his works, but he’s such a great author 😁
