Sounds liek a good one. |
| Posted By : Bookworm - 10/5/2007 1:17 PM | Sounds like something I'd like to look at. While I'm at it, can I recommend "A War Like No Other," by Victor Davis Hanson. This is a book of the Pelopennisian war, when the victors of the Persian War, Athens and Sparta, went to war with each other.
A very grim, painful part of history to read about. And highly revolent to todays current political situation.
Enjoy.
