1.The Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian WarThe Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War
from Free Press
Price: $11.95

Customer Review:
In this review, I will not seek to add to the already excellent and comprehensive discussion of this book's many merits outlined in the five-star and four star reviews.
What I can say is that I have been using this book as a teaching aid in my ancient history class. While it is far too complex... more info

2.Carnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise to Western PowerCarnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise to Western Power
from Anchor
Price: $9.00

Customer Review:
This book is a must read as it provides the base analysis of why one, in military conflict, is deemed successful. It bothers me when reading some of these comments as some deem "Right Wing" is somehow bad and "Left Wing" is automatically good however most, in all actuality, have become so... more info

3.A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian WarA War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War
from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $9.81

Customer Review:
Before I decided to review this excellent book I read some of the other reviews. Man, there are some very intelligent people who added comments: no false modesty here. Thus, I will refrain from an exercise in redundancy and point you to those excellent reviews below.
That said, let me add to... more info

4.The Landmark ThucydidesThe Landmark Thucydides
from Free Press
Price: $21.93

Customer Review:
Quibbles with the translation used aside, I believe this book exemplifies how all history, especially ancient history, should be presented. Too often an author tells a story with place names that cannot be found on a map; even more common, no maps are offered in a book. It's worse with ancient... more info

5.Ripples of Battle: How Wars of the Past Still Determine How We Fight, How We Live, and How We ThinkRipples of Battle: How Wars of the Past Still Determine How We Fight, How We Live, and How We Think
from Anchor
Price: $5.51

Customer Review:
This book is a fairly good book. It's style is the typical VDH which is very entertaining but contains a strong taste of self-righteousness and over-tendency to propagandize. The idea though is a unique one, one often handled by novelists but not as often studied by historians. It is the obscure... more info

6.Who Killed Homer?: The Demise of Classical Education and the Recovery of Greek WisdomWho Killed Homer?: The Demise of Classical Education and the Recovery of Greek Wisdom
from Encounter Books
Price: $8.50

Customer Review:
Rarely have I encountered a book wherein the answer to a question posed by its rhetorical -- but well-intended and no doubt provocative -- title is so obvious. Merely reading the cover jacket will inform a potential reader who "killed" the ancient Greek poet; one needn't slog through over three... more info

from Anchor
Price: $9.68

Customer Review:
A treatise on wars fought over the centuries, and what makes for leadership for victory, keeping casualties on both sides as low as possible. Victor Davis Hanson uses his great knowledge of Greek culture to springboard into comparisons with Civil War General Sherman, and World War II General Patton... more info

8.[no image]The Western Way of War: Infantry Battle in Classical Greece
from Knopf
Price: $34.00

Customer Review:
I really wanted to like this book! I like the era, and the subject. I read the reviews, several from each of the star ratings, and finally decided to buy it.
I waited for several weeks for it to arrive, as I am currently living in China, and had my father ship it to me. When it finally did, I... more info

9.[no image]Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Journal
from Garborgs Heart N Home
Price: $8.71

Customer Review:
I had gotten this journal when I was about 12-13 years old. I had a BLAST writing in it. I'm now 22, and I ran across it the other day. It was SO interesting to revisit the things that were going on in my mind back then. The memories it stirred up. I remember as a kid I absolutely LOVED writing in... more info

10.Mexifornia: A State of Becoming, Revised EditionMexifornia: A State of Becoming, Revised Edition
from Encounter Books
Price: $9.95

Customer Review:
Having grown up in California I can relate to what Hanson is saying... his expose of the Mexican government's use of California as a "relief valve" for Mexico's problems (i.e., abuses of their own people) jives with what friends -- from Mexican upper classes -- have told me. Unfortunately California... more info
