"""A colourful cast of larger-than-life characters and a story very well told and intelligently explained... Overall, a real triumph for the author's debut! Highly recommended to military historians, Alexander the Great fans and all those who have had their interest piqued by the brief outline given above.""-- ""The Historical Novels Review"" ""I enjoyed the Perdiccas years very much. It cast light on a period of history [I] knew next to nothing about it and held my attention throughout.""-- ""Army Rumour Service"" ""Tristan Hughes' The Perdiccas Years, 323-320 BC (Pen & Sword) is here to help us sort out all the shenanigans of the early Successor era. If you haven't wargamed Ancients, here is a fine place to start with similar but different armies for some big battle gaming. Have at it!""-- ""Wargaming Illustrated"" ""[A] comprehensive and inherently fascinating historical study of Alexander the Great's successors that is an impressive and valued contribution to the growing library of ancient Greek military histories and biographies. Highly recommended for community, college, and university library collections.""-- ""Midwest Book Review"" ""An exceptionally well-written account of the Successor Wars entered around Perdiccas, Ptolomy, and Antipater.""-- ""Historical Miniatures Gaming Society"""
