The Greek World 500-440 BC (2018 edition)

The new editions of Ken Webb's topic books have been written with the New South Wales HSC Ancient History Examination in mind. They strictly follows the outline of the NEW HSC history syllabus (2018-19). However, the format, detail and historiography it contains make each book an ideal companion for students in other states and overseas who are studying these topics.

The value of these books lie in:

• their solid, relevant narrative detail
• their inclusion of the views of several of the top historians who have written on aspects of this topic
• their revision exercises
• their advice on how to write examination-style essays

Written specifically for NSW Stage 6 Ancient History syllabus (2019 HSC onwards) - Section IV: Historical Periods - Option F: The Greek World 500–440 BC
