I see no purpose in this book, it is brief, it assumes you have read other Alexander books, he spend extensive pages introducing and apologizing for not writing more and foot noting to read other books to explain. Then he adds nothing but more rhetoric. I skipped forward finally and still found nothing new or substantial.

Se ora tu pensassi quanto fossero differenti quei paesi che possedeva il ra Dario, guarda le raffigurazioni che portano il trono, allora tu ne avrai conoscenza. Allora saprai che la lancia dell'uomo persiano s'e' spinta lontano, allora saprai che l'uomo persiano ha battuto il nemico lontano dalla Persia. (Iscrizione sulla tomba di Dario) (p. 49)

Quando Ahura Mazda vide in lotta questa terra, me la diese ... io la riportai al suo posto. (p. 25)
