Very good in terma of understanding broad themes, less good for details. The Peloponneseian War was covered in about two paragraphs. Have just got to Alexander the Great, but so far no mention of Socrates or Plato. Even if the focus is on political development more than philosophy / culture, I don't recall Pericles being mentioned either.
