Third in the trilogy of the ancient Greek dynasty. “In Grainger’s account, the fall of the Seleukid is as enlightening as the rise. ”—Minerva Magazine
The concluding part of John D Grainger’s history of the Seleukid's traces the tumultuous last century of their empire. In this period, it was riven by dynastic disputes, secessions and rebellions, the religiously inspired insurrection of the Jewish Maccabees, civil war and external invasion from Egypt in the West and the Parthians in the East. By the 80s BC, the empire was disintegrating, internally fractured and squeezed by the converging expansionist powers of Rome and Parthia. This is a fittingly, dramatic and colorful conclusion to John Grainger’s masterful account of this once-mighty empire.
“To get the best from The Fall of the Seleukid it would be worthwhile making sure you’ve absorbed the first two volumes. Nonetheless, you can enjoy and learn from this book alone. Like the fall of any other empire or the folly of human behavior—the story is compelling. ”—UNRV
“Grainger does a good job of producing a convincing narrative using the limited sources. ”—HistoryOfWar
