reviewed Roots of the Western Tradition A Short History of the Ancient World on September 29, 2014 Roots of the Western Tradition A Short History of the Ancient World
Simply a wonderful introduction to Ancient near-east and Greek/Roman civilization. Hollister summarized quite a bit of history in under 300 pages, but he did so in a succint, clear, and unbiased way. Special kudos on his treatment of 1st century Christianity, which was written with a distance of good Scholorship (I couldn't tell if he was a Christian, in other words, by reading that controversial section of history, which is a good thing.) I highly recommend this work as an entry-level yet scholarly introduction to Ancient and Classical Civilization.
