I'm looking for an authoritative text on the pre-history of ancient Greece, starting with the Cycladic, Minoan, and Mycenaean civilizations, OR a history of ancient Greece that starts with/includes the Cycladic Civilization.
Any suggestions?
Any text that includes all of the periods you mention will have problems, since there are no authors who can confidently write about every single period in Aegean/Greek history. (Also, as a general remark, you mean "Cycladic culture" -- "civilization" is a word that we try to avoid as much as possible.)
There is also the age-old divide between the Aegean Bronze Age on the one hand, and the first millennium BC on the other. It is customary to treat both separately, and this has led to few books actually discussing both periods: my own Henchmen of Ares (2013), based on my Phd thesis, is an example, but focused on warfare; Moses Finley made a valiant attempt in 1982 (!) with his Early Greece: The Bronze and Archaic Ages. Such books are few and far between, however, unless you look at more encyclopedic works. Some of them are also not very accessible to general readers, like the recent (and good) two-volume A Companion to the Archaeology of Early Greece and the Mediterranean (2020), edited by Irene Lemos and Antonis Kotsonas. It focuses on "the society and material culture of the Aegean and the Mediterranean, from the 14th to the early 7th centuries" (p. xxiii).
Perhaps too far-reaching for you is Cyprian Broodbank's The Making of the Middle-Sea: A History of the Mediterranean from the Beginning to the Emergence of the Classical World (2013). It's an impressive work – we did a podcast about it here– but as is the case with all books that are this wide-reaching, it tends to fall apart whenever you run into a topic that you happen to be an expert in (e.g. Broodbank's discussion of Archaic Greek warfare). Still, this is definitely worth seeking out (and quite affordable, too!).
Regarding the Bronze Age, there really hasn't been anything with regards to a single "authorative" text (monograph) that compares to Oliver Dickinson's The Aegean Bronze Age (1994), which is a little ridiculous considering how old it is now. For the general reader, Curtis Runnels and Priscilla M. Murray's Greece Before History: An Archaeological Companion and Guide (2002) is a fun, useful overview.
More specifically on aspects of the Aegean Bronze Age, I recommend the following books that are friendly towards non-specialists:
There are also plenty of books on Aegean art aimed at teaching students (and should also be accessible to general readers). I recommend:
More academic, but very interesting and recent (worth it for the bibliography alone), is Carl Knappett's Aegean Bronze Age Art: Meaning in the Making (2021).
If you just want a general overview of art and archaeology in the "Greek world" (i.e. Aegean, but also areas outside of the Aegean that were populated by "Greeks", whatever that means), then Richard T. Neer's Art & Archaeology of the Greek World (second edition, 2019) is worth a look. It's also beautifully illustrated.
Then there are two companions on the Aegean Bronze Age that are more or less standard textbooks, even if they are getting on a bit right now. The first is The Cambridge Companion to the Aegean Bronze Age (2008), edited by Cynthia W. Shelmerdine. The second is The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean (2010), edited by Eric Cline. The former is more accessible; the latter is a heavy tome that also discusses a number of sites in more specific detail.
If Mycenaean warfare is what you're looking for, have a look at my overview here (includes lots of suggestions for further reading).
As we move to the period following the destruction of the Mycenaean palaces (the decades around 1200 BC), there are more general works available that are of interest to non-specialists. One of them is Robin Osborne's Greece in the Making, 1200-479 BC (second edition, 2009). The one book I would recommend to everyone, though, is Jonathan M. Hall's A History of the Archaic Greek World, ca. 1200-479 BCE (second edition, 2014), since it also familiarizes you with some of the ways archaeologists and historians go about interpreting evidence from the ancient world (e.g. his discussion of the Lelantine War).
Perhaps as a final recommendation, I'd add James Whitley's The Archaeology of Ancient Greece (2001), which contrary to what the title might suggest is actually only interested in the period between roughly 1000 and 300 BC. (That in itself is quite suggestive as to what Whitley and many others believes qualifies as "ancient Greece", but let's leave that can of worms unopened for now!)
This is what I would suggest off the top of my head.
