Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book. 12mo-over 6¾-7¾" tall. A fine copy--no marks whatsoever-in a fine dustjacket without a price. This is the account of the Peloponnesian wars, a 20-year war between Athens and Sparta. Strassler's work is based on the Richard Crawley translation and is updated and revised for modern readers. Leon Botstein, president of Bard College said the following about this publication: "Strassler's meticulous and imaginative achievement is as welcome as its astonishing. Students of history and politics will be forever in his debt." The book includes biographies of the war's major players, maps, and other visual enhancements.

As a professional historian and college professor, who teaches both classroom courses and online, including graduate level courses in Classical history, I think Robert Strassler's Landmark Thucydides is an invaluable source for the courses I teach. The marginal notes, maps, charts, illustrations, timelines, and appendices are all very helpful tools that aid in understanding the text, and the book contains a wonderful introduction by Victor Davis Hanson. What more can any scholar or student ask for in a comprehensive one-volume text of Thucydides's Peloponnesian War? I highly recommend it for both students of Greek history and anyone who teaches it.

Khyber Pass to Thucydides
Something like a Lonely Planet Guide for serious students and scholars. Accessible and incisive, the best proof of the effectiveness of this book is that I gave it as a gift to a college student who had heard a mention of Thucydides in World History class. The young student plunged in and emerged with a spirited exploration of the Melian Dialogue, thus proving that Western Civilization has not died. So this is Thucydides with maps and extensive footnotes. The maps in the book are extremely helpful but I also added wall maps with coloured tacks for troops, augmented with GoogleEarth field trips.
