Richly documented, precise in detail, it is also extremely well-written, linking it to a tradition of historical narrative that has become rare in our time.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e―\u003ci\u003e Virginia Quarterly Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the fourth and final volume of his magisterial history of the Peloponnesian War, Donald Kagan examines the period from the destruction of Athens' Sicilian expedition in September of 413 B.C. to the Athenian surrender to Sparta in the spring of 404 B.C. Through his study of this last decade of the war, Kagan evaluates the performance of the Athenian democracy as it faced its most serious challenge. At the same time, Kagan assesses Thucydides' interpretation of the reasons for Athens' defeat and the destruction of the Athenian Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDonald Kagan is Sterling Professor of Classics and History at Yale University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.19 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 13, 1987\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52614672220467,"sku":"9780801419355","price":118.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/d0pXWW01TXNvMWd1TW94OEtZTktjQT09.webp?v=1761875821","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-fall-of-the-athenian-empire-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
