a pioneering genius of history and the political science of war
It is always difficult and challenging to pick up what is regarded as a classic and read through it in a naive manner, not as a specialist but as an amateur who just wants to learn. There are always surprises. In contrast to the looser Herodotus, his near ...

The Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War

Thucydides

Free Press, 1998

Wow, amazing history!
Don't let the fact this book was written over 2,000 years ago sway you from reading it! I'll admit I was hesitant about reading Thucydides because I'm not a big fan of non-fiction or a serious military history buff, and more specifically, was never that interested in ...

Thucydides

Loeb Classical Library, 1921

It's Greek ...
... and not just to me. Translating Thucydides is notoriously difficult, so if you're serious about understanding him, this book (and the other volumes) are indispensible -- even if, like me, you don't read Greek. Just one complaint: it's durn expensive.
