Dividing the Spoils: The War for Alexander the Great's Empire by Robin Waterfield

3.0

This probably deserves a higher rating. The scholarship is excellent, I’m really impressed by the research and reference materials which include maps, family trees, and timelines, but this book was also a lot to get through. It felt like a list of one battle after another with an absolutely massive cast of characters. Which is probably what the time was like, but it makes for a long read of a short book.
This is not a leisurely read, but would be great as materials for a university course and as a referenceable source.
