MCGING, B. C., Polybius' Histories. Oxford University Press, 2010. 288p. Paperback. Series: Oxford Approaches to Classical Literature. This is an excellent boo? comprehensive, balanced, and thought-provoking. It even helps readers understand some of Polybius's annoying characteristics: his relentless assault on other historians and his cruel attacks on contemporaries (powerful Romans excluded). McGing is well aware of Polybius's shortcomings and questionable practices, but he shows that, beyond them, there is a genuine, interesting historian.
