Trade Review
One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 1991 "This book is an extremely useful account of the history of Macedonia from its shadowy beginnings down through the reign of Philip II. Well written and coherent."--Classical World "Borza has employed two of the historian's most valuable tools, autopsy and common sense, to produce a well-balanced introduction to the state that altered the course of Greek and Near Eastern history."--Bryn Mawr Classical Review
