Infantry Battle in Classical Greece
From reviews of the first edition:
"[Hanson's] vivid style and meticulous combing of the ancient literary, archaeological, and epigraphical sources have produced a near masterpiece of historical imagination and reconstruction. . . . Masterful and gripping."--Journal of Interdisciplinary History
"A small masterpiece of style and scholarship."--The Economist
"[Hanson] has opened up a whole new way of looking at classical Greek war-fare. . . . The study of Greek warfare can never be quite the same again."--Journal of Hellenic Studies
"Enthralling. . . . One closes this book wishing that its final verdict was as well known as more familiar tenets of Greek wisdom."--Christopher Hitchens, Newsday
