'With icy remorselessness, it puts paid to any notion that the horrors of modern history might be an aberration - for it tells of universal war, of terrorism, revolution and genocide' Tom Holland The long life-and-death struggle between Athens and Sparta plunged the ancient Greek world into decades of war. Thucydides was an Athenian and achieved the rank of general in the earlier stages of the war, and in this detailed, first-hand contemporary account he writes as both a soldier and a historian. He applies a passion for accuracy and a contempt for myth and romance in compiling a factual record of a ruinous conflict that would eventually destroy the Athenian empire. Translated by Rex Warner with an introduction and notes by M. I. Finley

A monumental work unsurpassed for its brilliant description, accuracy, and penetrating insights, Thucydides' "History of the Peloponnesian War" is a spectacular eyewitness report of the war between Greece's two most powerful city-states, Athens and Sparta, as it unfolded during the fifth century B.C.The first recorded political and moral analysis of a nation's war policies, the "History" is a tragic story of virtue, ambition, and failed deterrence. All aspects of the conflict--from the battlefield strategies and the political landscape to the peoples' thoughts and feelings as the long war dragged on--are presented in startlingly vivid detail.From the treachery of Alcibiades and the disastrous invasion of Sicily to the plague that devastated Athens and Pericles' famous funeral oration, Thucydides has written more than a mere account of war. His "History" is nothing less than a classic Greek drama about the rise and fall of Athens. More than two thousand years have passed since the "History" was written, but its impact on modern politics, military strategy, and foreign relations has been timeless.

A New History of the Peloponnesian War is an ebook-only omnibus edition that includes all four volumes of Donald Kagan's acclaimed account of the war between Athens and Sparta (431–404 B.C.): The Outbreak of the Peloponnesian War, The Archidamian War, The Peace of Nicias and the Sicilian Expedition, and The Fall of the Athenian Empire. Reviewing the four-volume set in The New Yorker, George Steiner wrote, "The temptation to acclaim Kagan's four volumes as the foremost work of history produced in North America in the twentieth century is vivid. . . . Here is an achievement that not only honors the criteria of dispassion and of unstinting scruple which mark the best of modern historicism but honors its readers." All four volumes are also sold separately as both print books and ebooks.
