As a general history of Ancient Greece, this book is probably the definitive guide – evidenced by the numerous reprints and republication of the “brief” version.
However, the one huge flaw in this otherwise excellent text is the complete lack of academic references in the text, which means there’s no way to chase up specific details for further reading.
Otherwise, a book that serves as a very detailed introduction to Ancient Greece, without over-simplifying like some others do.
