Which classic book to follow for Advanced EM?

In summary, "Electromagnetic Theory" by Julius Adams Stratton is considered the best classic book for Advanced EM, covering all fundamental principles and topics. However, there are other options such as "Classical Electrodynamics" by John David Jackson and "Electromagnetic Fields and Waves" by Paul Lorrain and Dale Corson. It is recommended to consult with others to determine the best fit. Newer editions of the recommended book can be used, but older editions may still be relevant. Online resources such as lecture notes and practice problems can supplement the recommended book.

The book should have the following content. I want to refer a classic book which explains every detail.

1) Ohmic losses at high frequencies
2) Potentials and Green's functions
3) Image theorem
4) Fields radiated by sources in the far field region
5) Equivalence and reciprocity theorems
6) Antennas in transmission and reception
7) Green's function of the infinite line source
3) Application case: quasi-analytic analysis of transmission lines at high frequencies
