Description

No marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn or creased. 494pp. A comprehensive and accessible account of Greek history over 2000 years gives us a powerful sense of a society of human beings at times astonishingly similar to ourselves, at others strikingly different. The author's thesis is that Ancient Greece provided 'the chromosomes of Western civilization'.
