The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome

I really enjoy this book. Enough detail to teach you but not boring like typical history textbooks.

This is a WONDERFUL book. I bought it first as an audio book, but found i kept wanting to repeat bits (or share bits with my family and friends) so i wanted a hard copy. This is scholarship at its most accessible, i learned so much (and i not new to Ancient history it has been my hobby for 15 years) . The author manages to grab the exact moment, documents and stories to keep you high engaged (and sometimes on the edge of your seat). I was reading on my beach holiday and kept peppering my family with “oh, listen to THIS bit”. Don’t hesitate…it's magnificent.

It is just an awesome book for someone who wants glorify its library showcases and racks. Absolutely stunning and Susan Wise Bauer did a great work. But I think there are two unique things which I have found while reading... 1st is that the content is scrambled, the division of content is on the basis of periods but not empires or kingdoms so like one may do comparative study while reading a particular section. 2nd the language is more of literature basis rather informative or conventional history books. Although a great purchase

Excelente.!!!

Satisfied 100%.
