The Rise and Fall of Classical Greece is a magisterial history of one of the most important and influential civilizations in Western history. Donald Kagan, one of the world's leading historians of ancient Greece, traces the rise of the Greek city-states, their golden age, and their eventual decline.

Kagan begins by examining the origins of Greek civilization in the Bronze Age. He then traces the development of the Greek city-states, which became the dominant political and cultural force in the Mediterranean world. He discusses the major wars of the classical period, including the Persian Wars, the Peloponnesian War, and the Macedonian Wars.

Kagan also explores the social, economic, and cultural life of classical Greece. He discusses the rise of democracy, the development of philosophy and the arts, and the role of religion in Greek society. He also examines the decline of classical Greece, which he attributes to a number of factors, including internal political strife, economic decline, and the rise of Macedonia.

The Rise and Fall of Classical Greece is a comprehensive and authoritative history of one of the most important periods in Western history. Donald Kagan's incisive analysis and vivid storytelling make this book an essential read for anyone interested in ancient Greece.
