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.

评分罗胖的解读 今天给大家讲述的是一场战争。 这是一场穿越了2000年的战争。从它在公元前431年爆发,一直到今天,2400多年里它被人们一遍遍反复研究。神奇的是,它的价值却历久而弥新。 它被认为是西方政治史和战争史上的重大里程碑。 它是读懂民主、读懂西方文明、读懂国际关...
评分 评分大一IR课上第一个星期就提到的历史,也是学习国际关系时绕不开的经典case。也被许多人用来类比当今的中美关系——“修昔底德陷阱”;我认为,这样的类比并不正确、也不合适。 伯罗奔尼撒战争带给我们(至少是我)的启示: 老话:没有永远的朋友和敌人,只有永远的利益。 没有绝...
