Grote's classic twelve-volume work established the shape of Greek history which prevails in accounts of the ancient world today.

Updated with a new introduction by Paul Cartledge, A History of Greece is both one of the greatest modern works of historical interpretation and scholarship and relevant to ongoing debates over democracy in our times.

This book provides a concise, illustrated introduction to the history of modern Greece, with a new final chapter about Greek history and politics to the present day. 56 illustrations. 10 maps.
