Clifford Orwin is Professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto.
"Orwin has given us an important, provocative, and ultimately
unsettling new book on Thucydides. . . . [A] valuable piece of
scholarship. It asks important questions, marshaling an impressive
breadth and depth of learning."---Geoff Bakewell, Bryn Mawr
Classical Review
"[Orwin] allows us to see Thucydides' entire work in a fresh light.
No one who reads this carefully crafted, wittily written study will
emerge with his or her vision unchanged. . . . Orwin is in full
control of the secondary literature on Thucydides, his handling of
the philological questions is magisterial, and if the passages that
he discusses are familiar, his treatment of them is not. This may
be the best book to appear on the subject thus far, and given the
quality of the secondary literature produced in the last
half-century, that is saying a lot."---Paul A. Rahe, American
Historical Review
