This biography explores the details of Philip's life and legacy.

Trade Review
"'Worthington skilfully uses information from the rich documentation of Alexander the Great's early life to speculate about and suggest that of his father, and does so with a great deal of style.' The Daily Telegraph 'A clear, detailed, and balanced account that judiciously separates the threads of often complex political and military situations' Literary Review 'An admirable overview.' The Anglo-Hellenic Review"
