I didn’t like her History of the Ancient World.. I thought it sketchy and dubious. I suppose the first couldn’t be entirely helped with a work of that scope, but the second was a deal-breaker. A history based on ancient texts shouldn’t be presented as fact, although there’s nothing wrong with it as a study of historiography.
