The Shortest History of Greece

The Shortest History of Greece

2021 • 256 pages

Obviously not the definitive guide to 3,000 years of history, but a well written and engaging summary. If something strikes your fancy, you can now dive into it. The author does well to make the lessons of Greece's history feel relevant to today.

Will definitely try out some of those other shortest histories.

Plus I learned the 1946 Greek civil war was the first proxy battle of the Cold War. Who knew it started so early?
