Covers the three centuries or so between Alexander's conquests in Asia to Cleopatra's defeat and suicide in approximately 160 pages in an attempt to provide an overview to the Hellenistic era to the general reader both on the level of general themes and chronology of events, which keeps things at a fairly high level and as a narrative rather than analysis.

A masterly narrative survey of three centuries, from Alexander's conquest and empire to the triumph of Rome. The book begins with the personality and achievements of Alexander the Great, and continues with the military and political violence of the successor-kingdoms that fought over his inheritance. This era saw many important developments: a shift from the oral to the written; a move from the public to the private and a new individualist ethos; a huge growth in slavery, and therefore a glut of slave-labour which destroyed the incentive to innovate; a growing gap between rich and poor; a growing taste for luxury.
