"War in the Hellenistic World is a worthy addition to the
growing body of recent scholarship on ancient military history
… I would not hesitate to recommend it to interested
students, academics, and non-experts as a point of departure for
further inquiry." Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"A useful pedagogical resource and a welcome addition to the
social surveys of the Hellenistic period. Chaniotis offers a
clearly written, well-supported analysis of the significant roles
warfare played in shaping Greek politics, society, and economy."
Scholia
"War in the Hellenistic World is more accessible to a
university than a school readership, but would make a welcome
addition to the library of anybody with a keen interest in either
the history of warfare or the Hellenistic period in general."
Journal of Classics Teaching
"With its apt choice of evidence, engaging discussions and
suggestions for further reading at the end of every chapter,
Chaniotis's work is likely to be immensely useful to scholars or
students investigating almost any aspect of hellenistic culture and
society." Journal of Hellenistic Studies
"Chaniotis has treated his subject with finesse and scholarly
vigour. The book will be required reading for students of war and
culture in Hellenistic times, and an indispensable work for any
scholar interested in ancient warfare."
