A Great Distillation of Thucydides' Genius
I can't think of another abridgment of a classic more after my own heart. I am a passionate believer in reading all of Thucydides, but this book is still the ideal way to get to know what is great about the historian. (And, as our democracy is at war & struggles with ...

It's Greek ...
... and not just to me. Translating Thucydides is notoriously difficult, so if you're serious about understanding him, this book (and the other volumes) are indispensible -- even if, like me, you don't read Greek. Just one complaint: it's durn expensive.

Wow, amazing history!
Don't let the fact this book was written over 2,000 years ago sway you from reading it! I'll admit I was hesitant about reading Thucydides because I'm not a big fan of non-fiction or a serious military history buff, and more specifically, was never that interested in ...

It is always difficult and challenging to pick up what is regarded as a classic and read through it in a naive manner, not as a specialist but as an amateur who just wants to learn. There are always surprises. In contrast to the looser Herodotus, his near ...
