History of Greece to the Death of Alexander the Great, Vol. 2
By John Bagnell Bury (1861-1927)

J.B. Bury (16 October 1861 — 1 June 1927) wrote his “History of Greece”
before World War I, (this edition 1913) but it is such a good overview of
classical Greek history that the third edition was still being used as a college
textbook in the late 1960’s. In the newer editions, a co-author rewrote the
material dealing with the early centuries where there have been new
archeological developments, but the later chapters and Bury’s framework were
retained essentially unchanged. Bury writes in a lucid, easily understood style
that entertains as it educates. The book covers artistic and literary
development, as well as politics and war, and its field of view includes western
Asia Minor, the Agean archipelago, and “Greater Greece” (Sicily and Southern
Italy). (Summary by Karen Merline)
