Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed account of the Peloponnesian War, a conflict that raged in ancient Greece from 431 to 404 BC. The author, an Athenian historian and general named Thucydides, provides a first-hand account of the war, having served in the Athenian navy and witnessed many of the events he describes. The first book of the history covers the origins and immediate aftermath of the war, as well as an overview of the history and customs of Greece in the years leading up to the conflict. Many of the author's reflections on political power, war strategy, and the nature of history remain relevant to this day. Particularly insightful is his discussion of the psychological toll that war takes on both the victors and the vanquished. Thucydides's analysis of the war's underlying causes, such as the growing rivalry between Athens and Sparta, the breakdown of diplomatic efforts, and the impact of individual personalities and decisions, provides valuable insights into the complexities of this ancient conflict, offering timeless wisdom applicable to the study of international relations and political history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333716028_0
