Title: A Good Survey for The General Reader
Review: If you are looking for just one book to do a solid job in surveying the history and contributions of the Ancient Greeks this would probably be the one to buy.Freeman's narrative skills are very good, and he makes reading "dry history" a treat. It is written for the general reader who has an interest in learning more about these Greeks who set the table for our western civilization.Note: This will probably be of little use to a scholar. It contains no footnotes, references nor an extensive bibliography.
