FROM THE CRITICS
School Library Journal
Gr 6-10-King Philip II of Macedonia's success in unifying the fractious Greek city-states in the fourth century B.C.E. is skillfully traced in this tightly organized monograph. Less attention is given to Philip's son, Alexander III, who inherited the throne after his assassination. The portrayals of both men show their strengths and weaknesses. Nardo masterfully uses both primary and secondary sources to enrich the narrative. This is especially true in the quotes integrated from Demosthenes's Philippics. Black-and-white reproductions, maps, and photographs provide points of reference. This book will be useful for reports.-Lana Miles, Duchesne Academy, Houston, TX Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.|
