I just started reading John Keegan (Mask of Command) and I'm getting a real kick out of military history. Could anyone recommend more books in the field, Keegan or otherwise? (details inside)

I hope this is the right subreddit.

I'm a student of classics, so anything ancient (especially Greece/Alexander/Diadochi) would be excellent.

However, I'll devour pretty much anything: naval, siege, medieval, early modern, etc.
