Book Reviews of A History of the Roman People
Book Review: Clear; perfect balance of detail and swiftness.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have assigned this book to my students who uniformly praise its clarity. It is as easy to read as a college history book can be without being weak and "lite." I cannot imagine how they condensed this so skillfully. I think it would be fine for an honors high school class as well. One of its many virtues is the extremely clear boldface section and paragraph headings which make it easy for me to assign my students to read selectively if necessary. There is plenty of "cultural" (non-military, non-political) material as well as a few well-chosen pictures. This book is practical and efficient without being dumbed down or watered down.In addition, unlike certain books often assigned in Roman civilization courses, there is no visible political bias here, right or left. The emphasis is on comprehensibility of main events, themes, etc. I would recommend it not only for Roman history courses but also for Roman civilization courses since students really do want a chronological framework and some detail on politics, in my experience at least.
