'Altogether, this edition in a crowded field offers many unique
annotations complementing its fresh and accurate translation.'
Donald Lateiner, Ancient History Bulletin
'… an extremely useful edition for its re-situation of Thucydides
in his own context, especially for the large numbers of readers of
Thucydides in disciplines outside the classics. It is no small
achievement to convey in modern English the literary qualities of
this most political of ancient historians.' Liz Sawyer, Oxonian
Review
'…a fine addition to the Cambridge Texts in the History of
Political Thought series … its excellent footnotes will make it a
worthy [addition] to any reading list.' Benjamin Earley, The
Classical Review
