"(...) an eminently useful book. It also raises many more questions than it can answer, which is not at all a bad thing. The relationship between politics, military and the study of antiquity is in need of further exploration, and anyone interested in shedding further light on this would be well advised to take Konijnendijk’s study as a starting-point."
