Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and the Men of His Time, Vol. 1 of 2
Philip of Macedon, founder of one of the greatest em pires of antiquity, spent a lifetime of patient, laborious work in the camps and fields of his armies and peoples, training his invincible phalanx, building an undisputed world's kingdom, which perished in less time through the quarreling and disputes of his successors over the subdi vision of the conquest of the daring, dissipated Alexander. Philip and his son had capacity and courage to build and conquer, but not the wisdom to perpetuate a nation of ia dependent men.
