This is a vibrant volume that revisits and recasts an epoch-making (but often overlooked) period of antiquity.<\/p>\n<p>Writing with great style, Dr. Crouch brings this ancient age to life once more; maintaining an expert balance between historical accuracy and creative imagination as he does so.<br \/>\nThe book takes up the story of the gallant Pyrrhus: the most worthy of all the successors<br \/>\nto Alexander the Great, he is the vivid central character who guides us through his world.<br \/>\nThe choice of Pyrrhus is most apt; one of the most dashing figures in ancient history in his<br \/>\nown right, he is also somewhat unique in that he links both ancient Greece and Rome. In a<br \/>\nwork that captures all the clamour of a tumultuous age, we follow the young man through the early part of his career: fighting at his side in the epic battle of Ipsus, sailing with him through the Aegean, and seeing the ancient cities of Athens and Alexandria through his eyes. It is a journey detailed throughout with real authority, great care, and unflagging energy.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Crouch succeeds splendidly in conveying a compelling interpretation of the lives<br \/>\nand loves, the achievements and aspirations, of great men in a great age.
