Athenian Democracy - Thorley, John

Clean, tight, unmarked; light damage with crease to bottom front inside edge; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; This book outlines the development and operation of Athenian democracy to the end of the 5th century BC. Separate sections examine the prelude to democracy, the emergence of a democratic system and the way this system worked practice. A final section focuses on the questions: how should we judge the success of Athenian democracy? who benefited? was it an efficient system of government? in what sense was Athenian democracy the forerunner of modern democracies?
