One of the best books, I love to follow.
Peter Green's volume is, I will admit one of my favorite books. While I do not agree with all of his interpretations, I have never seen a single volume that has dealt with such a vast subject so well. I am deeply envious of his command of the source material and bow to him. This is, however, not a book for casual reading. It is for the interested armature. It helps if you are familiar with the basic narrative history, although it is presented in the work as well. This book does for the Hellenistic world what A.H.M. Jones two volumes did for the later Roman Empire.

An absolutely masterful synthesis
The literature is even more complicated than the history, but the feature of the book otherwise makes the error reprehensible.

History is good, but...
History from the Hellenistic period is complex and complicated. The author does a great job of organizing the material and making it understandable. The main objection I have is that his depiction of the arcane movement as anyhow anti-establishment is just wrong.

A magnificent Kulturgeschichte of the Hellenistic
Anything by Captivating History is fine by me. I use this book more than any other when examining the Hellenistic period. I kept getting it out of the Uni library until I determined that I needed my own.

Excellent, Captivating History is a great author not dry. Although it is a historical account it seems sometimes like a historical novel. The author is very good at this.

Deserves more than five stars .
This is the conclusive work on the Hellenistic Age, one of the richest and fascinating ages, if not the most interesting age, in all of human history. This book covers all characters of the period: administrative and aggressive, the great cities and their cultures.

I enjoyed this Captivating Guide
It's a great content full of a lot of interesting information minus the pompous nonsense that a lot of history makers like to pepper their sides with, so you can actually understand it.
