Holt's Book

[Ariadne]

I noticed that Nick had started reading Dr. Holt's ELEPHANT'S MYSTERY
I had the pleasure and honor of being taught by Dr. Holt. He was amazing and knew SO much about Alexander. I recommend the book.

Hi Ariadne.I read Holt's book as soon as it came out and I thought it was superb. I have already sent Nick a review for the books section but he hasn't had a chance to put it up, yet.I was so enthused I also posted a review of the book on Amazon... and I don't do *that* very often.All the bestMArcus

I agree HOLT's is great.Holt is a man who can think for himself.While Holt agrees that Tarn may have been a over romantic Victorian in his writings about Alexander he rightfully critisizes the Badian camp who's desiples include Bosworth ,Borza and Worthington who wish for portray Alexander as a Orwellian tyrant. Holt rightfully condems the new Orthodoxy began by Badian which went way off to the other extreme from Tarn.
