History Of The Peloponnesian War by Thucydides - Paperback

A great story of overcoming tremendous odds to survive. Not just all the enemies they encountered, but Xenophon's own men were often more troublesome still. Those pesky Greeks took democracy to such absurd lengths that being a general seemed to require surviving periodic recall votes by your soldier electorate! It is interesting to think that the tribes they faced and fought on their incredible trek are generally still there, like the Carduii, in whom we recognize today's Kurds. The difference is that spears and boulders have been replaced by Kalashnikovs and Toyota pickups.

Surprisingly readable for a record from the ancient era. Every page leaves you eager to learn more and if you are interested in learning this period of Greek history then it will absolutely keeped you hooked from beginning to end.Honestly one of the best books I have ever read but that is because I already have a great interest in Ancient Greek history and especially the Persian and Peloponnesian War eras.In short, an essential read for anybody desiring to learn more about classical history. This book briefly describes the rise of (arguably) the most influential metropolis in European history and spares no detail in it's eventual downfall. And that's just Athens. The fate of all other participants in Greece's greatest war, including Sparta, are given just as much respect in regards to why they chose to declare war and how they faired in the conflict.This is not really a review in all honesty. I just typed this up because I was looking at my bookshelf and remembered just how great this book is. Just looking at it reminded me of all I had learned from the book.Possibly my favourite historical book of all time from my favourite historical era of all time. Worth every penny.

Page quality is bad, no proper alignment, bad ink quality, blur images. This is a replica of original book. Price must not be more than 70 rupess. It must be from Fake Book market of Delhi.Seller is a scammer

Great choice.

The poorly formatted/presented text in this book makes it a chore to read.At 600+ pages, I'm tempted to just throw it in the paper recycling bin.
