What if understanding yesterday’s war could save us from tomorrow’s?Thucydides witnessed the Peloponnesian War firsthand, recording speeches, tactics, and turning points with clinical precision.His narrative exposes how hubris, fear, and ambition topple empires-and how visionary leadership can still fail against fate and faction.What You’ll Discover in This Modern Translation: • Strategic Masterclass - Naval innovations, siege warfare, and the diplomacy behind every move • Political Psychology - Pericles’ soaring ideals versus demagogues who weaponize fear • Timeless Warnings - How pandemics, propaganda, and polarization erode civil society • Readable, Faithful Prose - A line-by-line modernization that keeps Thucydides’ rigor and drama intactFor generals, executives, historians, and citizens alike, this is a handbook on power-its rise, misuse, and catastrophic cost.
