Alexander to Actium: The Historical Evolution of the Hellenistic Age (Hellenistic Culture and Society)

Editorial Reviews
Robert Taylor, The Boston Globe
"Green's magisterial narrative history covers Hellenistic society as it has never been covered before, boldly combining political and military events with cultural and intellectual developments."

Jasper Griffin, New York Review of Books
"Green's style is lively, he draws striking parallels with recent history and recent persons; he paces his narrative in a way that makes it very readable, while deftly keeping the reader aware of the whole of his large-scale patterning of these complex and ramified chains of events. He punctuates narrative with more general discussion, and he picks out telling details that illuminate and remain in the memory. His story line is crisp, and his interpretation is eminently clear and vividly conveyed."
