Do some research. It's easiest to start with a tertiary source (e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great) and look at the references section. It probably will mostly reference secondary sources. Look at their bibliographies, and you will start to uncover references to primary sources.

Your best hope, is that you will be able to use the search engine of your choice to find translations of the primary sources on-line. The worst-case scenario (assuming that there ARE any primary sources, and would think that for Alexander, there must be) would be that you will have to spend years studying ancient languages so that you can travel to foreign lands and read original manuscripts that lie in forgotten crypts buried at the sites of long forgotten monastaries.

Did Alexander the Great free the Persian citizens?

Primary sources (such as Arrian) say that there is some evidence in supporting this question of whether or not Alexander saved the Persian citizens, however repetitions of facts among sources point to some understanding that he did offer them some so called "freedom" in J.R Hamilton and a year 13 classics document i picked up that Persian's, with Alexander as king, were given benefits that were inevitably co-operative with the Persians, their religion and way of living and gave them advantages in the kingdom. The "freedom" could be exposed as such a general statement though and may contradict with other statements said about the Persians and the system they lived by. If you look at the way Darius ruled the Persians, then at the way Alexander ruled the Persians you could draw conclusions of "Freedom" from there.
