Rezension zu „From Democrats to Kings “
'A gloriously entertaining and provocative account of a period of Greek history that is no less important for having so often been overlooked.' Tom Holland 'I really enjoyed From Democrats to Kings - fascinating and exuberant on Ancient Athens, bringing their politics to life and right up to date, making Ancient Greece relevant for today.' Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Young Stalin and Catherine The Great & Potemkin 'An admirably written chapter from the past that illustrates history's ability constantly, often tragically, to repeat itself.' Simon Jenkins 'The key to the success of this book is Scott's decision to focus on the individuals caught up in this period of change - the leaders, philosophers and soldiers and their reactions to fast moving events ... a very readable and enjoyable account of this period, bringing part of the ancient world vividly back to life.'
