5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book, October 13, 2010
This review is from: The Rise and Fall of Ancient Greece: The Military And Political History Of The Ancient Greeks From The Fall Of Troy, The Persian Wars And The Battle ... Alexander The Great And His Conquest Of Asia (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book! I am reading it with my 9 year old son, and he loves it. It's a great introduction in the history of the Western Civilization. A very insightful, easy to read, all inclussive story( more than history)of humanity. Highly recommend!

1.0 out of 5 stars Sadly disappointed, September 10, 2009
This review is from: The Rise and Fall of Ancient Greece: The Military And Political History Of The Ancient Greeks From The Fall Of Troy, The Persian Wars And The Battle ... Alexander The Great And His Conquest Of Asia (Hardcover)
This is a wonderfully illustrated book loaded with color photographs and maps, but not a lot of substance when it comes to specific details of Ancient Greece. The author attempts to compress over two thousand years of Ancient Greek history into xii chapters. On the average each chapter is about twenty to twenty- four pages in length, and is sub divided into six to eight topics; just two pages each.

I would only recommend this book for anyone who is just beginning to study Ancient Greece, or a gift for your favorite middle schooler.
