This thread is the Bibliography thread for the book Ghost on the Throne: The Death of Alexander the Great and the War for Crown and Empire by Rick Atkinson. These are the primary sources used by the author. In the book, the sources are listed in topical groupings with periodicals and books combined which makes adding the bibliography more difficult. This will be a great reference for books and materials on Alexander the Great

Interesting book, Glynn. Can you please put parentheses around "no photo"? That's our standard format for citations. And no period is needed.
