"An outstanding collection of essays by an extraordinary group
of scholars from around the world. The depth and variety of
expertise represented here is formidable. Required reading for
students of war and diplomacy in antiquity."
Barry Strauss, Cornell University, author of The Trojan War: A
New History
“This volume is most valuable in that it broadens
the…perspective of most American historians of the ancient
world…always well-written, jargon-free and
stimulating.”
New England Classical Journal
“The contributions provide a diverse array of perspectives
on ancient warfare and peacemaking.”
Journal of Military History
“Raaflaub succeeds in a fascinating tour of the main
issues and topics covered in the volume.”
Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"An excellently written and utterly stimulating book. It has
been a delight and privilege to read it."
Geoff Harris, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban
"The great virtue of the volume is that … the reader is necessarily forced to confront the differences between the ancient and the modern." Polis
