Write a Book Review of The Greek and Macedonia Art of War and discuss whether the book changed the way you think about the subject (or about debated issues in the history of warfare).

Adcock, Frank Ezra. The Greek and Macedonian Art of War. Berkeley: Univ. of California Press, 2008. The point of a scholarly book review is not to summarize the content of the book, but to situate the historical merit of the book and to evaluate critically the author’s purpose, thesis, contentions, and methods of analysis. Hence, the bulk of the body of one’s review essay will be an evaluation of how convincing was the author’s presentation of his/her thesis and a commentary on the book’s contribution to one’s understanding of important issues in the history of warfare from antiquity until 1700.Please include a coversheet followed by bibliographical information about the book in the first sentence of the review (author, title, city of publication, publisher, year of publication, how many pages). Example: Warry, John. Warfare in the Classical World. Norman, Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1995, 224 pages. Discuss the author’s main thesis and contentions. Please stay in Academic Third Person when writing (stay away from using First Person “I” in your analysis).Explore the type or types of sources the historian utilized (primary and secondary), and the methods the author employs in choosing and organizing those sources.Assess strengths or shortcomings of the book.Discuss whether the book changed the way you think about the subject (or about debated issues in the history of warfare).
