Title: Greek and Macedonian Art of War by Frank E. Adcock ISBN: 0-520-00005-6 Publisher: University of California Press Pub. Date: June, 1974 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |

Summary: Excellent introduction to Greek warfare
Comment: This book is a little gem. It is the transcription of a series of lessons, each of which covers an aspect of Greek Warfare from the Heroic Age to the Ellenistic Kingdoms. Although short, the book is exhaustive and definitely worth buying for both the military enthusiast and the general reader. The only criticism I might make is that there are no illustrations; this makes it difficult to visualize the chapter on naval warfare. For this reson, the book should be read together with the "Illustrated Encyclopedia of Ancient Warfare" by Warry.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Concise Compendium of Classical Combat
Comment: Adcock gives an all-too-brief overview of Hellenic and Hellenistic military art. He begins with the city-state at war and then devotes chapters to infantry and naval matters. Next he turns to the more Hellenistic topics of cavalry, elephants, and siegecraft. He then gives us a chapter on strategy, and concludes with a chapter on generalship. The book was an interesting read, and I got to the last page far too soon.
