Anmeldelser

«As successful in meeting its ambitions as Philip's kingship, as sweeping as Alexander's conquests»
Tom Holland

«By pairing the two giants of Macedonia, Goldsworthy helps the reader understand Alexander's life all the better, and sheds light on the achievements and character of Philip»
Aspects of History

«Sterling scholarship, engaging prose, insightful analysis, and unbiased assessment»
Victor Davis Hanson

«Contributes significantly to making these scholarly developments accessible to a very wide audience, through engaging narratives which capture the political complexity of the Greek world both before and after Alexander. The major innovation of Goldsworthy's vivid Philip and Alexander is to pair Alexander's biography with that of his father, Philip II»
TLS

«Adrian Goldsworthy takes a fresh approach to the well-worn tale, dealing with the gaps in our knowledge with candour and resisting the urge to fill them with speculation»
