Más información sobre el libro
The unique character of Thucydides’ War can be examined through the movements and dynamics of the rival alliances’ armies and naval forces, which were often opportunistic, deliberate, swift, or ruthless. War embodies power, ambition, chance, surprise, and pervasive emotions like hate and fear, making this study timely as it focuses on the scale of forces involved in a prolonged and interrupted conflict. Understanding war is a complex challenge that encompasses both qualitative and quantitative aspects, with no simple answers. This work delves into the intricate interplay of the various dimensions of conflict, exploring how these elements shape the experience of war. Dr. Neil Morpeth, a Senior Lecturer at The University of Newcastle, Australia, serves as the Convenor of Short Programs and lectures in Classics and the History of Ideas within the School of Humanities and Social Science, Faculty of Education and Arts.
