Top corner of wrap has slight tear. ; Clarendon Paperbacks; 0.97 x 9.23 x 6.24 Inches; 440 pages; In 338 BC Philip II of Macedon established Macedonian rule over Greece; he was succeeded in 336 by his son Alexander the Great, whose conquests in the twelve years that followed reached as far as the Russian steppes, Afghanistan, and the Punjab, and created the Hellenistic world. The study of Macedonia is now a growing point in ancient history. The first ever history of ancient Macedonia has now been completed in three volumes by N. G. L. Hammond, helped by G. T. Griffith and F. W. Walbank. On the basis of that work Professor Hammond now provides in one volume a history of the Macedonian state and its institutions both in Europe and in the Hellenistic kingdoms in Asia and Egypt, on which much new light has been shed by epigraphic and archaeological discoveries. Those institutions have had a profound influence on subsequent history. Full references are given to the ancient sources of information and to archaeological, numismatic, and epigraphic articles.

Minor scuffing. Adhesive stains to inner covers. ; The successors of Alexander the Great were neither his closest friends nor his most prominent generals. But because these marshals labored in his shadow, their careers and contributions to Alexander's success have been neglected by historians, ancient and modern. The primary aim of this book is to bring them to light. Waldemar Heckel presents an interpretative prosopographical study of more than 130 officers who served Alexander the Great. As such, The Marshals of Alexander's Empire is a revision, a continuation and an expansion of H. Berve's Das Alexanderreich aup prosopographischer Grunlage, volume 2 (Munich, 1926). The Marshals of Alexander's Empire provides the first full discussion in English of the careers of Alexander's Macedonian officers and closest friends. ; 1.2 x 9.3 x 6.1 Inches; 444 pages

The small, landlocked territory in the southern Balkans has been contested by its four neighbours - Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Albania - during and since the demise of the Ottoman Empire." "This collection of essays by prominent international authors seeks to redefine the new Macedonian Question, and to shed light on the complex recent history of the old socialist republic within the second Yugoslavia and its successor state. It includes important analyses of the politics, international relations and recent history of the region, as well as of the complex ethnic and religious divisions of the modern Macedonians."Collection of essays on the complexities of ethnic, historical and political situations in FYROM and the Balkans by James Pettifer, Evangelos Kofos, Hugh Poulton,Elisabeth Barker, Nina Dobrkovic, Kyril Drezov, Jens Reuter, Stefan Troebst, Reginald Hibbert, Tom Winnifrith, K Gligorov, Nina Smirnova and others. xxxvi, 311p.maps. index.
