Description
Winner of the Wolfson History Prize
‘A major intellectual feat…sets new standards in scholarship, coherence and readability’ Colin Renfrew, The Times Literary Supplement
‘More comprehensive, more finely grained, more vivid, more subtle and more compelling than anything previously written on the period up to classical antiquity…{Broodbank’s} hawk’s-eye perspective combines vast vistas with sharply sighted details; he selects evidence with an unerring discretion and words with daring élan. The vitality of his work carries the reader through 600 big, closely printed pages packed with data and bristling with intellectual challenges.’ Felipe Fernández-Armesto, THE LITERARY REVIEW
