Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I usually love history, but somehow Nagle has managed to take the Greeks and Romans and make them BORING. My favorite period of history, and it’s dry, dusty, and uninteresting when Nagle tells it. Unfortunately, my honors class decided this was the textbook we had to use.On a more critical note professionally, I don’t like history texts where the historian presents emotions rather than facts. There are numerous points throughout the book where Nagle says things like “Naturally, such and such made no sense” or where he errs more on the side of storytelling than being a historian. History should certainly tell a story, but it should be unfettered by the historian’s personal opinions whenever possible, and not colored with emotional narrative.

⭐Great textbook. Easy to read and follow . Arrived in perfect condition

⭐Exactly as i wanted ,thanks!
