The Peloponnesian War 431–404 BC by Philip de Souza
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a pretty decent overview of the Peloponnesian War which glosses over some parts which I would mention (the Melian Dialogue) but describes others in greater detail (culture).
I enjoyed the intermediary sections on everyday life as especially with the limited allowed length of an Osprey book, it is very simple to spend it all describing purely military affairs. I would note that I wish the book had put more effort into describing the end of the war, as it received a relatively short description compared to the beginning but that can be ascribed to the fewer sources we have available.
