lives up to the expectations raised by the previous volume ... It is witness to the author's growing affection for his subject ... Bosworth has much of real value to tell the reader of Arrian and the historian of Alexander. ... if the second volume is any indication, we can expect the third and final volume of Bosworth's commentary on Arrian to continue to provide real insight into Arrian's writing and the construction of his history. These volumes will surely grace the bookshelf of any student of Alexander the Great.
