Thucydides: The Reinvention of History

Donald Kagan Yale's Sterling Professor of Classics and History delivers a compelling new look at revisionism
in Thucydides' classic History of the Peloponnesian War. To determine how accurate and dispassionate the Athenian general really was, Kagan exposes his epic to an enlightening and thorough analysis. Using contemporary and modern sources, Kagan reveals the exiled aristocrat's
biases, prejudices, and his clear intention to spin events in his own way.
