The Archidamian War | Donald Kagan

3 posts | 3 read | 9 to read

This book, the second volume in Donald Kagan's tetralogy about the Peloponnesian War, is a provocative and tightly argued history of the first ten years of the war. Taking a chronological approach that allows him to present at each stage the choices that were open to both sides in the conflict, Kagan focuses on political, economic, diplomatic, and military developments. He evaluates the strategies used by both sides and reconsiders the roles played by several key individuals.

The Archidamian War | Donald Kagan

pick

If you‘ve read an introduction to the Peloponnesian War and have read Thucydides and still want to dive in deeper then this is the series to go to. Not only does he provide arguments for or against ancient and modern analysis of the war, he also gives a very good picture of the war moving from theatre to theatre. My comprehension of the war has increased dramatically with the first half of this series. Plus, there‘s maps! Ample maps are a must.
