Ancient Greece: A Concise History

If one reads the review below youll note that I did not trash this book, I pointed out that it was lacking evidence and topics btut also how it might best be used in a classroom. Im a college instructor so I think in terms of what I would use in a history class and how best to use it. I stand by what I said below because Im comparing the book to others of its type, and this book is not the best (that would earn 5 stars).

You should also note the "?" in my title -- you are entitled to your own opinions but when people start sending me nasty private emails about my reviews, I can only feel sorry for their lack of professionalism.

For the specialist, Greens book is too concise, short on evidence to support all of his "facts". However, for the introductory history class, it might be a good book if supplemented by cultural and social history by the instructor. It is clear that Greens area of specialization is not ancient Greece but he is knowledgable nonetheless.
