Title: Lapses in Historical Accuracy
Product review: I also agree that this book is one-sided for Wood had created serious lapses in historical accuracy. It is simply incorrect to call Alexander or his Macedonian army "Greek", when the ancient Greek and Roman historians made a clear distinction between the Greek and Macedonian nations. Alexander was known as Macedonian and had never been called "Greek" in any ancient text, and Wood should have represented him for what he was. Instead he left an inaccurate portrait of the famous conqueror ascribing him a false ethnicity and identity for which he was also sharply criticized by Archaeology in 1998.
