Classical scholars and military historians have long held that pitched infantry battle in ancient Greek society evolved as a necessary alternative to the more fundamental but exhausting business of warfare, which was the ravaging and destruction of crops - Victor Hanson turns all this on its head. This book continully relates the graphic details of Greek warfare to problems of conflict in our own society.
