A very accessible look at some of the incredible stories that took place during this extended and very bloody conflict between Sparta and Athens. The focus is on the people making the decisions, and each leader featured comes across as a real person fighting for their state's survival. Kagen does a great job of incorporating several sources and not just retelling Thucydides epic tome.
