A War Like No Other - A Short Review.

Published by Random House A War Like No Other by Victor Davis Hanson is an excellent review of the Peloponnesian War.


Unlike a chronological accounting Hanson examined the conflict through the use of key strategies; fear, fire, disease, terror,armor, walls, horses and ships. The conflict was not short nor followed the traditional rules of Greek hoplite warfare and ushered in a new era of total war.

The paperback version includes a few maps but no photos. Text is rather small and printed on duller newspaper style paper so can be a challenge upon the eyes. Otherwise it is a great read and resource for understanding the Peloponnesian War and the subsequent impact upon ancient Greece.
