Reviews

"[A] masterpiece of historical scholarship..."-- "Midwest Book Review"

"Smith gives us a look at geopolitics and war making in the period and the complexities of Athenian and Greek society. A valuable read for anyone with an interest in the 'Golden Age' of Greece, or the arts of state craft and leadership."-- "The NYMAS Review"
