The book of Ien Wartington explores the political activity of the Macedonian king Philip the Second, the father of Alexander of Macedon, who managed to subordinate the main Greek cities to his power, including Athens, Thebes and Sparta.

In the book, the reader can find a brilliant analysis of the most difficult political situation that has developed in Greece by the middle of the 3rd century. BC, in which Philip proved himself a subtle diplomat who played on the internal contradictions of his enemies, who eventually destroyed once powerful policies. The translation of the fundamental essay of Jen Wartington is the first in domestic anti -bearing, who still undeservedly ignored Philip the Second, who in history would undoubtedly become truly great, if not for the subsequent famous deeds of his son
