Thucydides: Man's Place in History

Writing during the fifth century BCE, the Greek historian Thucydides described situations in which optimistic plans led to irremediable suffering in the field of foreign policy. In this text, Stahl (classics, U. of Pittsburgh) examines Thucydides' work as a study in the fallibility of human projections. Two new chapters reflecting Stahl's subsequent work augment this first English translation of the 1966 German text. Distributed by the David Brown Book Company.
