Brown cloth with a slightly sunned dust jacket. 8 3/4 x5 3/4 inches, viii., 262 clean pp. We have added a clear wrapper to the dj. Throughout history, readers of Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War have long sought to apply its lessons to the problems of their times. In that tradition, the authors of these essays explore Thucydides' observations on the human condition in an effort to comprehend their modern world of more than 2,400 years later.The nine contributors find that Thucydides is not only the descriptive historian he is commonly said to be, but also a sophisticated theorist of international relations who emphasized the use of history to interpret the international conditions of his day and had a profound understanding of realism and pluralism, of the relationship between internal and international politics, and of the role of culture in world affairs.Thucydides' work remains worth reflecting on because it challenges the reader to understand the concept of greatness in leadership and to carefully observe what war can reveal about human affairs. Reconsidering Thucydides' thought in the post--Cold War world -- in which the United States is the foremost military power -- the essayists find lessons in his writing that they maintain must be included in a modern understanding of greatness, including the idea that sustained preeminence must incorporate virtue, goodness, and justice. Thucydides, they show, was a savvy ancient who would today demand a fundamental reexamination of certain prevailing assumptions about the character of political life -- assumptions the source of which contemporary realists often erroneously attribute to Thucydides himself.The confusion and disagreements about the proper interpretation of Thucydides' work echo the deepest confusion and disagreements about the meaning of politics and the character of human existence. An illuminating dialogue about the place of Thucydides in modern thought, Thucydides' Theory of International Relations, therefore, is an invitation to reunite the study of international relations with political philosophy in the broadest sense.

Considered essential reading for generals, statesmen & liberally educated citizens for more than 2,000 years, 'The Peloponnesian War' is a mine of military, moral, political & philosophical wisdom. However, this classic book has long presented obstacles to the uninitiated reader. Written centuries before the rise of modern historiography, Thucydides' narrative is not continuous or linear. His authoritative chronicle of what he considered the greatest war of all time is rigorous & meticulous, yet omits the many aides to comprehension modern readers take for granted, such as brief biographies of the story's main characters, maps & other visual enhancements, & background on the military, cultural & political traditions of ancient Greece. Robert Strassler's new edition amends these omissions & not only provides a new coherence to the narrative overall but effectively reconstructs the lost cultural context that Thucydides shared w/ his original audience. Based on the venerable Richard Crawley translation, updated & revised for modern readers, 'The Landmark Thucydides' includes a vast array of superbly designed & presented maps, brief informative appendices by outstanding classical scholars on subjects of special relevance to the text, explanatory marginal notes on each page, an index of unprecedented subtlety, & numerous other useful features. Readers will find that w/this edition they can dip into the text at any point & be immediately oriented w/ regard to the geography, season, date, & stage of the conflict. In any list of great books of Western Civilization, 'The Peloponnesian War' stands near the top. This handsome, elegant & authoritative new edition will ensure that its greatness is appreciated by future generations. * "This is the best book w/ which to start the study of Thucydides & the Peloponnesian War. It presents the finest English translation. Its maps, scholarly appendices, & notes permit the beginner to understand the text & to move easily & at once to a higher level of study than has been possible up to now." - Donald Kagan, author of 'On the Origins of War' & 'Pericles of Athens' * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL for at-cost rates quoted upon request.
