Note that Paul Cartledge also did an excellent write up on Alexander the Great which I enjoyed a lot.

He published a lot of these books in 2011, almost as if there were several papers broken up into books.There is a History in 11 Cities and a Regional history of Sparta from 1300 BC to 362 B.C. Paul is also an honourary citizen of Sparta. Pretty cool!
The third book in this “series” is After Thermoplyae: The Oath of Plataea and the End of the Graeco-Persian Wars which was published in 2013.
