Review:
This text is a very readable, modern, American English translation. It remains true to the original Greek. The introductory materials are useful, sane, and meet the needs of a wide range of undergraduates. Maps are easy to read and very useful.--Marie T. Gingras, University of Colorado
. . . the selections go much deeper than the standard collection of the best-known speeches . . . in Woodruff s work I see a clear thread going through important passages and making them accessible to the reader.--Alfonso Gomez-Lobo, Georgetown University"
