"Mr. Zagorin attempts to explain Thucydides' thinking rather than the course of the Peloponnesian War itself". -- Peter Stothard, Wall Street Journal "Readers who know nothing about ancient Greek history will come away with a clear understanding of the events". -- Tom Palima, Times Higher Education Supplement Thucydides: An Introduction for the Common Reader is a useful book.... Thucydides' ... depth and breadth remain an extraordinary reminder of how little political distance we have traveled since his time. (Peter Stothard The Wall Street Journal )
