I’m wondering if there’s any good books which cover the period after the Peloponnesian Wars up to Alexander. Just finished Kagan’s History of the wars and the aftermath (especially the rise of Thebes) intrigued me. There’s always Grote of course but I wonder if there’s been a more recent semi-academicish survey of the period. Thanks!
In the "semi-academicish" category I will recommend Michael Scott, From democrats to kings : the brutal dawn of a new world from the downfall of Athens to the rise of Alexander the Great (London: Icon, 2009). This is a book intended for a broad audience--it is even on Audible, I believe. I don't know anything about Michael Scott, but I see two of his other books have been reviewed on Bryn Mawr Classical Review and were not absolutely mauled.
Slightly more hefty is probably Tritle, ed., The Greek world in the fourth century : from the fall of the Athenian Empire to the successors of Alexander (London: Routledge, 1997).
As a companion to either, you might check out Harding, ed., From the end of the Peloponnesian War to the battle of Ipsus (Cambridge 1985). This is a collection of translated documents (mostly epigraphic) pertaining to the period. It is a sourcebook of primary source material.
