The author attempted something quite difficult

The writer endeavored something very troublesome: to cover a few centuries of significant history told for a lay peruser.
Thinking about this, I compliment him on keeping my enthusiasm all through.

Fabulous place to start.

The author tried something quite complicated: to cover various millennia of serious history told for a lay reader.

Recognizing this, I congratulate him on keeping my interest throughout.

An excellent story of the ages

A comprehensive history of the Hellenistic Age, it gives some interesting points of interest in some areas that are not commonly mentioned in books assigned to period, and through this method, carries a good picture of the spirit of the age.
