For three
decades in the fifth
century b.c. the
ancient world was torn apart by a
conflict that was as dramatic, divisive, and
destructive as the world wars of the
twentieth century: the Peloponnesian War. Donald Kagan, one of the world’s most respected classical, political, and military historians, here presents a new account of this vicious war of Greek against Greek, Athenian against Spartan.
The Peloponnesian War is a magisterial work of history written for general readers, offering a fresh examination of a pivotal moment in Western civilization. With a lively, readable narrative that conveys a richly detailed portrait of a vanished world while honoring its timeless relevance,
The Peloponnesian War is a chronicle of the rise and fall of a great empire and of a dark time whose lessons still resonate today..
