Description

This book offers insights into the impact of warfare on the founders of Western civilisation, uncovering the overcrowding, plague and civil strife that existed alongside the literature, art and philosophy for which the Classical Greeks are celebrated. The lessons in diplomacy, strategy and tactics that emerged from the Peloponnesian War are still remembered today.
