    While not focusing exclusively on the wars of the successors to Alexander's empire, The Hellenistic World by F.W. Walbank is a great book that you may be interested. The book begins with Alexander and ends with the Roman domination of the Hellenic kingdoms. The one knock that I would have against the book is that if you are not already familiar with the period in which Walbank is discussing, you may find yourself getting a bit lost. Otherwise, this is a great book that will definetly improve any reader's understanding of the Hellenistic world. Walbank focuses a lot of his time on the interactions between the Successor States and how they developed.

    These are the best sites ive found that focuses on the wars of the Successors. It writes about the wars in particular.
    http://www.livius.org/di-dn/diadochi/diadochi.htm
    and
    http://diadochi.biography.ms/

    These are the best sites when it comes down to explaning what happened then. Featuring all the diodachi wars from Alexander's death to Seleucos' assasination by Ptolemy Ceraunus.
