Kagan usually says clever things about Thucydides, and Grafton always says clever things about everything he decides to talk about.

Yes, I quite liked Kagans book on the Peloponeasean war !.... Having read a translation of Thucidides before hand it was
perhaps eye opening to see the critique given to what I read as face value......I guess you could say nievely!
