"A gripping and often unsettling account of a formative period of ancient history. As Robin Waterfield points out, it deserves to be far better known than it is-and now, thanks to the author himself, it is as accessible as it has ever been."-Tom Holland, author of Rubicon: The Last Years of theRoman Republic
"Well-paced and often dramatic ... up-to-date research and thorough documentation ... well-placed interludes summarizing Hellenistic developments in social life, literature, art, economics, philosophy and religion." - The Wall Street Journal
A well-researched book that offers a wealth of information about the period between Alexander the Great and the coming Roman Empire." - HistoryNet
"Mass battlefield slaughter, treachery, assassinations, intrigues--ancient Greek politics as usual? Not quite: for this is the Age of the Wars of the Succession to Alexander the Great, on the cusp between eastern and western civilization and the Greek and Roman worlds, and also an epoch of unusual creativity especially in the fields of philosophy, literature, and the visual arts. Dr. Robin Waterfield's coruscating cultural-political narrative does full and equal justice to all the major dimensions of this extraordinary half-century."--Paul Cartledge, AG Leventis Professor of Greek Culture, Cambridge University, and the author of Alexander the Great: The Hunt for a New Past
"Waterfield efficiently traces the endlessly shifting military and marital alliances among the great successor families. His spare account manages to serve both as a military and as a cultural history of a great age of transition. Recommended for anybody interested in the classical era." -LibraryJournal
"A superb examination of a critical but often neglected period of ancient history." -Booklist
"Politics, warfare, and culture are brilliantly captured in this fascinating account, fully supported by maps, genealogies, and mini-bios of key players, together with black-and-white plates, bibliography, and index. An essential Who's Who for any student of this remarkable transformational period." -ForeWord

"Gripping." --Simon Sebag Montefiore, New York Times Book Review
