The Stalingrad of the ancient world, this is an immensely readable, brilliant, brutal and vivid history of the greatest and bloodiest war of ancient Greece. The Peloponnesian War, fought 2,500 years ago between oligarchic Sparta and democratic Athens for control of Greece, is brought spectacularly to life in this magnificent study. Kagan demonstrates the relevance of this cataclysmic event to modern times in all its horror and savagery. As two uncompromising empires fight a war of survival from diametrically opposing political, social and cultural positions, the seemingly invincible glory of Athens crumbles in tragedy. Athenian culture and politics was unmatched in originality and fertility, and is still regarded as one of the peak achievements of Western civilisation. Dramatic poets such as Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes raised tragedy and comedy to a level never surpassed; architects and sculptors were at work on the Acropolis; natural philosophers like Anaxagoras and Democritus were exploring the physical world, and philosophers like Socrates were dissecting the realm of human affairs. All this was lost to this bloody conflict. In this work of brilliant scholarship, Kagan illustrates his remarkable ability to interpret these events as a part of the universality of human experience. His clear expertise in both the ancient world and the wars of the 20th-century are combined with his storytelling gifts to give an unforgettable portrait of this pivotal war that has shaped the world as we know it.

评分既是战争再现,也是一部国际政治关系的教科书 看完引言部分,解答了我心中的一个疑问。本书是基于四卷本《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》的单卷本缩写版。后者包括《伯罗奔尼撒战争的爆发》、《阿希达穆斯战争》、《尼基阿斯和约与西西里远征》和《雅典帝国的覆灭》,属于专业性质的学术...
评分掩卷一声叹息 战争是最凶残的老师,足以摧毁一切文明。 一、当民主沦为伪民主 唐纳德•卡根不愧为现代研究伯罗奔尼撒战争最透彻的专家学者。观点很正! 这个正不是指雅典与斯巴达之间的不偏不倚(还是可以明显感觉老爷子支持雅典,支持民主,不喜寡头的)而是对某些根深蒂固...
