FOND DU LAC, Wis., Nov. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mark
Luttenberger, a retired quality assurance and lean manufacturing
specialist, has completed his new book "Philip II of Macedon": an
erudite opus on the personal and tactical life of Phillip II of
Macedonia that paved a way for
glory to reign in his kingdom.
Author Luttenberger revisits the moments of ingenuity that
brought Macedonia to a spotlight
as one of the greatest powers of the ancient world: "The topic of
inquiry is a political, military, and economic history of ancient
Macedon during the reign of Philip II (359–336) in the fourth
century BC. The first two chapters analyze the early history of
Macedon and the development of the political, military, social, and
economic institutions of the Macedonian kingdom. The balance of the
book discusses the rise of Macedon from a small kingdom on the
periphery of the Greek world to become the master of ancient Hellas
and the Balkan world south of the Danube River.
The central figure of the book is Philip II who ascended the
throne as a young man in his early twenties after the defeat and
death of his brother and six thousand Macedonians by the hostile
Illyrians. The book follows his twenty-three-year reign as he
guides the Macedonian people to the pinnacle of power and dominance
over their neighbors in the Balkan world. You will witness the
political, military, and economic growth of the kingdom that Philip
created through his numerous reforms and conquests. His energetic,
cunning, and inspired leadership will be revealed in these
accomplishments. At Philip's death in 336, the foundation of power
was established that his son Alexander the Great would use to
conquer the Persian Empire.
As Philip's power grew, you will encounter his seven wives that
formed the basis of his diplomatic arrangements to protect the
kingdom. You will be introduced to the leading characters whether
family, friend, or foe. These include his wife and son Olympias and
Alexander; friends Antipater and Parmenio; and foes Bardylis,
Onomarchus, Demosthenes, and Artaxerxes III.
The book concludes with an analysis of the assassination of
Philip and Alexander's consolidation of power in the Balkan world
in 335 BC before he embarks on his legendary journey."
