The Greek Wars treats of the whole course of Persian relations with
the Greeks from the coming of Cyrus in the 540s down to Alexander
the Great's defeat of Darius III in 331 BC. Cawkwell discusses from
a Persian perspective major questions such as why Xerxes' invasion
of Greece failed, and how important a part the Great King played in
Greek affairs in the fourth century. Cawkwell's views are at many
points original: in particular, his explanation of how and why the
Persian invasion of Greece failed challenges the prevailing
orthodoxy, as does his view of the importance of Persia in Greek
affairs for the two decades after the King's Peace. Persia, he
concludes, was destroyed by Macedonian military might but moral
decline had no part in it; the Macedonians who had subjected Greece
were too good an army, but their victory was not easy.
