Review of "A History of Greece" by Cyril E. Robinson

I ran across this on Audible.com quite a while back and finally took the opportunity to listen to the book.

The books Volume I & II, take the reader (or listener) from around 600BC to around 323AD, or from the beginnings of Greek enlightenment to the rise of Christianity.

If you are looking for a book that delves into the Greek philosophers, battles, Generals, writers, on into the daily life of a Greek living in Athens, then this is the book for you.

I found that the material covered enough depth about the many subjects reviewed in the text without becoming too bogged down in any one area.

I would recommend this book.
