Good for What it is, a Tightly Condensed, Basic race through Ancient History,
By
This review is from: An Introduction to the Ancient World (Paperback)
This book is a great introduction to the History of the Fertile Crescent, Greece, and Rome. Needless to say, the Romans get the most attention, but the coverage is good all around (Rome lasted longer anyway, right?). The translation into English is clear and, interestingly, flows well; you wouldn't know the book was originally in Dutch unless you read it in the copyright section. This is the text for the Greco-Roman civilization class I took at FSU, and most of the students in there paid like a hundred and twenty dollars for the hardcover edition. Can't say it's that great but buy this paperback if you would like a primer in Ancient History.

I was completly blind to ancient history until I have read this book. This is a great book for beginers. If you have just developed an interest in ancient history and want to know more about then this book is a must read.
