A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War
reviewed on + 16 more book reviews


Very hard to read. Too much like a Microsoft manual. The author either assumes you are very well versed in Greek history or is trying to prove how well HE is versed in it.
He jumps all around the geograhy and timeline in every paragraph.
I found myself skimming to glean the insights and descriptive tidbits buried in his text.
A disappointment.
