That is the new book by Greg Woolf.? Could it now be the best single-volume introduction to the history of ancient Rome?? It is conceptual yet avoids the pitfalls of overgeneralizing, a difficult balance to strike.? It also has a superb (useful rather than exhaustive) bibliography.? A good measure of books such as this is whether they induce you to read or order other books on the same topic and this one did.
A sure thing to make my ?Best Books of 2012? list.
