Nice book

This is a historical book and I don't see any relation between its contents and the political comments of the previous reviewers. It refers to ancient Macedonia i.e. the northern greek kingdom and NOT the modern slavic coutry (ancient Paeonia) that uses the same name since 1945. So, there is absolutely NO reason to start a debate here. If you are interested in politics please go rate a book about modern diplomacy etc.This book is an excellent choice for its price if you are interested in greek history. This historical period is not so 'glorious' compared with the previous classic greek periods and hence not my favorite one. I have not read more than 10 books about the hellenistic age and thus I can not claim there are not better books. Yet, I found the book interesting, well documented, and well written.It's sad to see that some people vote 1 or 2 for a good book just because it uses the name 'macedonia'. When it refers to ancient greece, slavs vote it with 1. When it refers to the modern slavic state, greeks vote it with 1.This makes it really difficult for the rest of us to select a book! Please stop it now.

Macedonia is not Macedonia

The Macedonia of the ancient world is not the country known as "Macedonia" today. The people there have absolutely no connection with the people of the ancient land. They are of Turkish and Albanian blood. The closest one can get to the ancient Macedonia is the people from the area of Greece known as Macedonia. Very big difference.
