\"A War like no other\"; by Victor Davis Hanson

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Well,leaving the strange language appart,i do believe that you chose an odd book to start your familiarisation with the peloponnesian war. It is such a complicated story even if you try to say it in a nutshell. As i said earlier in the thread, i would much more recommend Kagan's "The Peloponnesian War", which follows a linear and very detailed description and analysis of every single event. Hanson wrote a book for all those that are rarely told in books about the war. I think he could write this book in a wider title of the evollution of warfare in the 5th century,but the Peloponnesian war in itself was indeed the cause of many changes on how greeks saw war,and i think this is his whole point. It's been some time that i have read the book though.
