"The Archidamian War remains sober, judicious, and comprehensive. There is nothing else like it available in English--certainly nothing that takes all the modern scholarship into account.... But perhaps the most valuable achievement of the book is its carefully reasoned demolition of Thucydides's view--warmly embraced by too many scholars--that Pericles's war strategy was justifiable."
--Peter Green "Times Literary Supplement ""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. To read Kagan's 'History of the Peloponnesian War' at the present hour is to be almost unbearably tested."
--George Steiner "The New Yorker ""A profound analysis of the relation of strategy to politics, a sympathetic but searching critique of Thucydides' masterpiece, and a trenchant assessment of the voluminous modern literature on the war."
--Bernard Knox "The Atlantic Monthly ""About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
