Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War (Touchstone)
Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War (Touchstone) | Thucydides
2 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
Thucydides called his account of two decades of war between Athens and Sparta "possession for all time, " and indeed it is the first and still most famous work in the Western historical tradition. Considered essential reading for generals, statesmen, and liberally educated citizens for more than 2,000 years, "The Peloponnesian War" is a mine of military, moral, political, and philosophical wisdom.
