## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A219 / A275 Open University
*by W***S on 26 February 2013*

If you are reading either or both of the above courses this makes an excellent companion. It gives additional context that cannot be covered in the course collateral - beautifully written and a superb accessory to any serious student or enthusiast.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The true father of history
*by D***S on 28 June 2013*

Kagan's well-written account of Thucydides reaffirms why he is rightly seen as the father of history. Kagan explains how Thucydides gathered his information, how he cross-checked his facts, and how he tried to maintain objectivity, as any modern historian would.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thucydides:The Reinvention of History.
*by K***E on 28 December 2011*

I first encountered old Thuy in my 2nd year at Uni and I have attempted to grasp his intrinsic brilliance ever since.I will say that I am no Classicist or Greek scholar,and people will do well to refer to their local library or Humanities dept of their University to gain access to the "real McCoy" so to speak.I will say however that this is a first rate book by a most distinguished scholar at Harvard and the authority displayed is surely apparent.Perhaps if you read this in conjunction with the original(in translation of course)then you will gain an immeasurable benefit.To highlight an example,look at the Melian Dialogue in the original work and you may perhaps gain an insight into the relevance of this work for today.Not that it is not without its faults,but I am in no way qualified or competent to assess it with any authority.Perhaps more of our politicans should read Thucydidies and Homer and learn a little humility before embarking upon dubious and bloody courses of action.Anyway,enough preaching,buy it,read it and enjoy.
