1.		The Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War from Free Press Price: $17.13 Customer Review: This edition of Thucydides is really excellent. There are maps and/or images of artifacts on almost every page, along with marginal summaries, and a lot of helpful appendices. However, as I read it (over the course of a week), the book completely fell apart. Every twenty pages or so a large... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $10.85 Customer Review: This is a great effort from a prolific and serious writer of history.

4.		The Landmark Thucydides from Free Press Price: $29.70 Customer Review: You should buy the hardcover book and not the paperback edition of this book. The paperback edition falls apart when you read it. This translation of Thucydides's history of the Peloponnesian War is outstanding. The text has numerous maps that help the reader locate the areas Thucydides is writing... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		The Soul of Battle: From Ancient Times to the Present Day, How Three Great Liberators Vanquished Tyranny from Anchor Price: $11.53 Customer Review: This book explores three immensely effective generals: General William Tecumseh Sherman, General George Patton and the lesser-known Epaminondas of Thebes.

7.		Who Killed Homer?: The Demise of Classical Education and the Recovery of Greek Wisdom from Encounter Books Price: $12.21 Customer Review: If I had the money, I would give financial aid to any entering graduate student in the field of Classics who read and discussed this book. My only regret about WKH? is that it escaped my notice for ten years. As I told my wife, I felt that the book had been written about my own experience, or that I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Mexifornia: A State of Becoming, Revised Edition from Encounter Books Customer Review: Although I'm not finished with this book, so far, it's fascinating and well balanced. Anyone interested in getting a fresh perspective on what's happening to our country because of illegal immigration and our politically correct giving in to illegal aliens' needs without in return demanding them to... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		The Immigration Solution: A Better Plan Than Today's from Ivan R. Dee, Publisher Price: $16.47 Customer Review: Writing this review, I see that there is one one-star review, the reviewer claiming that there are no hard facts in the book and that the writers are ignorant. That is certainly not the case. The first chapter reads that way, but the rest certainly contains a great deal of numbers and facts. You... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Wars of the Ancient Greeks (Smithsonian History of Warfare) (Smithsonian History of Warfare) from Collins Price: $12.21 Customer Review: One has a sneaking suspicion reading this volume that Hanson started with his conclusion first (that Greeks invented the so-called "Western" way of war which, according to Hanson, requires emphasis on "decisive" battles) and worked his way back. The "uniqueness" of the Western way of war remains... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
