Historian J.E. Lendon presents a sweeping tale of pitched battles by land and sea, sieges, sacks, raids, and deeds of cruelty and guile -- along with courageous acts of mercy, surprising charity, austere restraint, and arrogant resistance. Recounting the rise of democratic Athens to great-power status, and the resulting fury of authoritarian Sparta, Greece's traditional leader, Lendon portrays the causes and strategy of the war as a duel over national honor, a series of acts of revenge. A story of new pride challenging old, \u003ci\u003eSong of Wrath\u003c\/i\u003e is the first work of Ancient Greek history for the post-cold-war generation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45355827888279,"sku":"9780465031436","price":1311.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780465031436.webp?v=1767671197","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/song-of-wrath-the-peloponnesian-war-begins-9780465031436","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
