More about the book

Focusing on the conflict between democratic Athens and militaristic Sparta, the narrative explores the complex dynamics of the Peloponnesian War in the 5th century B.C. Thucydides, regarded as the father of "scientific history," employs rigorous evidence-gathering and analysis, emphasizing cause and effect without divine influence. His work provides a detailed account of political power struggles, military strategies, and the impact of war on society, making it a foundational text in historical writing and political theory.
