a good summary of classical western history. covers egyptian, near eastern, greek, and roman history up to the fall of the roman empire in the middle of the first millenium. much of the book is a repeat of what many people have already learned in high school history classes. but the book tends to go into much more depth in certain areas and also includes alternative views of history that aren't usually taught in school. overall a quick read that provides a surprisingly thorough overview, even if its length makes it necessary to omit many things.
