"This book will immediately become the standard companion volume in English to Thucydides' The Peloponnesian War...The author is man of action and a practicing farmer as well as the premier classical historian and military commentator of our day." -- Josiah Bunting III, author of Ulysses S. Grant
"The age of Pericles was also a time of famine, pestilence and atrocity: a "Thirty-Year Slaughter.' In order to understand the lesson this offers for civilization, one must try to feel it as the Greeks felt it, and reflect on it as they did. In this dual task, Victor Davis Hanson once again demonstrates that his qualifications are unrivaled." --Christopher Hitchens, author of Love, Poverty, and War: Journeys and Essays.
