## Description

desertcart.com: The Peloponnesian War: 9780192821911: Thucydides, Hammond, Martin, Rhodes, P. J.: Books

Review: Classic work, great translation. - Thucydides work is a classic that has withstood the test of time of about 2500 years. When reading this you feel like you are reading the first history book(it's not Herodotus was first). This chronicles the history of the biggest war that was waged until that time. There is so much that happens. Treachery, plotting, deceit, tactics, strategy, politics, this history has more plot than most works of fiction. Interspersed through the history are some great orations. The translation is good and reads in straight forward prose. There is no wasted effort on the translators part with affectations or flowery language making this work quite accessible. The introduction is quite long, and uninteresting. Thucydides work speaks for itself and much of the authors intro should be condensed. The end notes would have been good and I wish I had read some of the reviews here, and read them as a reading companion. It would have made this work a little easier to digest.
Review: Can't stop reading - Bought it as a Xmas gift for my boyfriend and he told me he absolutely loves the book and falls asleep almost every night reading it, because he can't stop. The introduction is an invaluable asset.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic work, great translation.
*by M***L on January 2, 2015*

Thucydides work is a classic that has withstood the test of time of about 2500 years. When reading this you feel like you are reading the first history book(it's not Herodotus was first).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't stop reading
*by G***A on May 18, 2013*

Bought it as a Xmas gift for my boyfriend and he told me he absolutely loves the book and falls asleep almost every night reading it, because he can't stop. The introduction is an invaluable asset.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Translation/Story
*by R***D on May 18, 2022*

Without removing any of the necessary information included by Thucydides, this translation is readable. The story, of course, is filled with information that Thucydides considered "objective" history. It is often forgotten that this man actually fought in the Peloponnesian War. An interesting mix of intellect, perception, and militaristic ability.
