Editorial Reviews
Review
"Mr. Zagorin attempts to explain Thucydides' thinking rather than the course of the Peloponnesian War itself". -- Peter Stothard, Wall Street Journal
"Readers who know nothing about ancient Greek history will come away with a clear understanding of the events". -- Tom Palima, Times Higher Education Supplement
Review
Thucydides: An Introduction for the Common Reader offers an engrossing intellectual appreciation of the most important and most difficult historian in the western cultural tradition. . . . Perez Zagorin . . . brings formidable personal intelligence to major questions in Thucydidian scholarship, and his book goes well beyond the typical synthetic handbook. . . . There is nothing else like it.
(Tom Palaima Times Higher Education Supplement )
Thucydides: An Introduction for the Common Reader is a useful book.... Thucydides' ... depth and breadth remain an extraordinary reminder of how little political distance we have traveled since his time.
