Description

Explore the complex reality of Classical Greece with Philip de Souza's analysis of the Peloponnesian War. This volume from the Essential Histories series examines the conflict between Athens and Sparta, providing a deep look at the diplomacy, strategy, and tactics used during this era. Rather than focusing only on military glory, this book looks at the human cost of war.

It also examines the internal civil strife that broke out within cities allied to the major Greek powers. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient history and the foundations of Western civilization.
