Review:

Love of Glory provides interesting arguments. . . . There are valuable insights . . . (Canadian Journal of Political Science)

Scholars seeking to understand why democracies have thrived and how they have been undermined can profit from Love of Glory and the Common Good. (The Review of Politics)

. . . well written, and provocatively argued. Anyone interested in Thucydides can profit from this fine book. (Paul Rahe, Hillsdale College)

. . . many clever insights. . . . This is a good book. (Political Studies Review)

The book is often incisive and stimulates reaction and deserves to be added to the Thucydides stable. (Classical Review)

Palmer has what art critics would call a 'good eye,' ability, shared by too few Thucydidean scholars. (Ethics: An International Journal of Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy)
