WORTHINGTON, I., Demosthenes of Athens and the Fall of Classical Greece. Oxford University Press, 2013. 416p. Hardback. This is a gripping story of Macedonian ascendance, Athenian retrenchmentand the efforts of a gifted, but flawed Demosthenes to reverse the course of history. In both accessible and erudite fashion, Ian Worthington guides us through the labyrinth of Greek and Macedonian politics, and the result is not only first-rate history, but lessons for any ageours especiallywhen the fear of civilizational decline, and its supposed remedies, become near obsessions.
