This study offers a concise survey of Western Civilisation from the
Stone Age through the fall of the last Western Roman Emperor in AD
476. Three sections each chronicle a critical epoch in human
history. Section I encompasses man's ascent from barbarism to
civilisation in the Ancient Near East; Section II witnesses the
development of Western Civilisation in Ancient Greece; and Section
III catalogues the failed attempt to build the West's first
""nation-state"" in Ancient Rome. The focus of each section is on
political and military history, but each concludes with a segment
which concentrates on the cultural and scientific achievements of
the era under study. Human foibles are abundantly portrayed but so
too is the ascent of humankind. Scholarly and comprehensive in
content, lively and informal in tone, The Ancient Near East, Greece
and Rome: A Brief History will serve as a useful resource for
college students and general readers alike.
