It is a testament to the fascination of the subject that even today the events of the Peloponnesian War are studied for what they can teach about diplomacy, strategy and tactics.
This book reveals the darker side of Classical Greek civilization. From the horrific effects of overcrowding and the plague on the population of Athens, to the vicious civil strife that often erupted in cities allied with Athens or Sparta, this volume offers vivid and at times disturbing insights into the impact of warfare on the people who are celebrated as the founders of Western civilization.
The Osprey Guide To... series is a reworking of the popular Essential Histories series, reincarnated as non-illustrated eBooks at a fantastic low price.
The maps and text remain the same – giving a strong historical overview of some of the most important conflicts and theatres of war from the ancient world through to modern times.
