Moreover, with the Pashtun we have a people who have been largely culturally independent since the Diadochi wars up to the 1950s, when they suddenly became to focus of many waves of cultural imperialism from distant sources; first Indo-Muslim refugees, then Soviet socialist propaganda, then Arabian fighter-preachers, and now Euro-American reconstruction.

His chief work, _Historiae Philippicae_, in forty-four Books, was concerned chiefly with the history of Macedonia and the Diadochi; but it embraced also the empires of the East and the history of Greece down to the time of Philip, as well as Parthia, Spain, Carthage, and the early history of Rome.
