Reviews

"...I applaud Dr. Elliott for his thorough research... This ambitious military chronicle is essentially an overview; a comprehensive survey, smoothly written by an expert popularizer of ancient history. A tour de force, the book is lavishly illustrated..."-- "The NYMAS Review"

"[T]his volume provides a detailed, insightful survey of Greek warfare. Although largely an introduction, folded into its narrative are many well-informed and highly perceptive observations. Recommended. General readers through faculty."--B. A. Ault, University at Buffalo, SUNY "CHOICE, June 2022 Vol. 59 No. 10"

"This is an excellent overview volume covering not only the military, but the political, social, economic, and even cultural factors that led to the rise of the ancient city-states of Greece and their method of warfare that dominated the Eastern Mediterranean for centuries."-- "NY Journal of Books"
