Good points, I'll have think more about it. I remember one my takeaways from an early chapter in this book was about the failings of early democracy. Admittedly the earliest democracy was, as you say, a bourgeois democracy.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I've been told that On Politics: A History of Political Thought: From Herodotus to the Present is fantastic. It's definitely not written in the style used by Kean or Bryson, but is one of the more thorough histories I've seen - covering over 2,500 years of political philosophy.
