Book Recommendation: Greek Warfare: Myths and Realities

How does he address the Greek aspis? The shield doesn't seem to be designed to effectively cover the man holding it. The only reasonable theory for its design is that it was intended to partially cover the man next to him. The only way this can be achieved is to have very lose ranks.
