"The Greek Wars is an important contribution to the understanding of the relations of Greek states with the Persian Empire. George Cawkwell discusses, rather than narrates, the whole conflict of East and West from the middle of the sixth century B.C., when Cyrus the Great extended Persian rule over the Greek cities of Asia, down to the defeat of Darius III by Alexander at Gaugamela in 331 B.C. Like others in the field, Cawkwell rejects the once prevalent Hellenocentric perspective on the conflict and takes a radically sceptical view of Greek accounts."--Jacket.
