A concise but comprehensive and authoritative book in English on the Hellenistic world, the world set in motion by Alexander the Great, is indeed most welcome.

Walbank's erudition is predictably wide as well as deep, his mastery of the essential documents assured...He is also commendably up-to-date on many vexed questions of interpretation...Walbank is clear and perceptive.--Peter Green "Times Literary Supplement "
Anyone with an interest in classical civilization would enjoy this...It is the best book [on the subject] available in English.--Robin Lane Fox "Financial Times "
