Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of Thucydides, an influential historian of the Peloponnesian War. The author notes that, while Thucydides had great impact as a historian, there are many misconceptions about his work circulated by later commentators. To challenge these misconceptions, the author provides insights into his writing style, historical biases, and the interplay between his work and that of other Greek historians. This book is groundbreaking in its wide-ranging examination of Thucydides' contributions to the study of history, notably his role in establishing the importance of understanding human nature as a driver of historical events. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
