His empire was vast, stretching across the ancient world from Greece and Egypt to India. In the wake of his death, his generals--the Diadochi--once tenuously united, turned on one another, each in pursuit of what he believed was his rightful role as ruler.</p> <p>In this narrative history, Anson explores the period of time known as the Age of the Successors--the approximately forty years following the death of Alexander the Great. It is a story of ambition, power, and war, but at its core, it is a story of transition--of how one man's empire ultimately became the Hellenistic World.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A reliable guide through the seemingly endless wars of the period has long been a desideratum for teachers and students.
