Now Donald Kagan, classical scholar and historian of international relations, ancient and modern, presents a sweeping new narrative of this epic contest that captures all its drama, action, and tragedy. In describing the rise and fall of a great empire he examines the clash between two disparate societies, the interplay of intelligence and chance in human affairs, the role of great human beings in determining the course of events, and the challenge of leadership and the limits in which it must operate. The result is an engrossing, fresh perspective on a key historical event that will be welcomed by general readers and history buffs alike-and anyone seeking a better understanding of the pivotal events that shaped the world as we know it.]]> 2003 3 0 false Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sun Jan 13 18:18:52 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 13 18:20:16 -0800 2008 more...]]> 41214978 1834318 87539 0142004375 9780142004371 27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171104223m/87539.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171104223s/87539.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/87539.The_Peloponnesian_War 4.07 180 The Peloponnesian War is a magisterial work of history written for general readers, offering a fresh examination of a pivotal moment in Western civilization.
