The ancient Greeks perfected the art of war, rejecting ambush, crop devastation, ritual conflict, or combat between heroes for a ferocious, brutal and very destructive head-on clash between armed men of all ages and from every part of the polis. This study draws on the evidence of poetry, drama, vases and historical records to reveal the infantryman's views on the armour and weapons he used, the commanders and causes he served, and the horror of the wounds he was likely to receive.

There are a few episodes in human history that have had profound effects. Victor Hanson presents a thesis that the way Greeks evolved into their form of warfare changed the way latter civilizations and countries would view and conduct war. In a convincing set of arguments and observations about ancient warfare conducted by Greek city-states, he makes the case that Greek civilization brought us more than the ideals of democracy.
