“Clásico” no es un adjetivo baladí a la hora de hablar de un libro cuya influencia lleva proyectándose desde su primera edición en 1981, y que va mucho más allá de la investigación y de lo académico. Basta con leer los prólogos que le dedican autores tan reconocidos como Adrian Goldsworthy o como Fernando Quesada Sanz. Como ambos reconocen, La guerra en Grecia y Roma es una obra que inyectará para siempre en el lector la pasión por el mundo clásico, no solo por la calidad de su texto, sino por el inigualado aparato gráfico que le acompaña, que constituye un exquisito y suntuoso despliegue de cartografía e ilustración, que desde la arqueología y la iconografía restituye el pasado para hacerlo vibrar en cada página. Con estos avales, La guerra en Grecia y Roma es punto de partida inmejorable para el conocimiento de los sistemas militares desarrollados en Europa entre los siglos VIII a. C. y V d. C., su estructura, su tecnología, sus mutaciones, y sus victorias y derrotas. En La guerra en Grecia y Roma, su autor, el maestro Peter Connolly (1935-2012), historiador y arqueólogo británico experto en tecnología y cultura militar, e igualmente un ilustrador de primer orden, abordó la evolución de los ejércitos de Grecia y Roma, pero también los de sus adversarios, abarcando doce siglos de desarrollo militar. En ella ofrece una visión panorámica que combina un detallismo preciosista en el análisis de panoplias, fortificaciones o navíos con la narración factual de campañas y las estrategias y tácticas desarrolladas en las mismas. Las soberbias ilustraciones de Connolly no solo reproducen con mimo piezas arqueológicas, iconográficas o numismáticas, sino que hacen que el texto, que el pasado, cobre vida: desde las Guerras Médicas hasta el Bajo Imperio romano, Peter Connolly recorre en La guerra en Grecia y Roma los momentos álgidos de la guerra en el Occidente antiguo. La última carga de los espartanos en las Termópilas, el choque de trirremes en Salamina, la falange de Alejandro en Hidaspes, el desembarco de los legionarios de César en Britania… serán ya siempre para muchos como los pintase Connolly. Desperta Ferro, además, ha revisado esta edición de La guerra en Grecia y Roma parar incorporar las actualizaciones pertinentes proporcionadas por los nuevos avances en la investigación desde la primera fecha de publicación.
