"Persuasive."—Thomas E. Ricks, New York Times Book Review
"A superb account."—Dominic Green, Minerva
"Paul Rahe continues his monumental history of ancient Sparta, by
explaining why and how Sparta’s early strategic role in the Greek
world was inseparable from the uniqueness of its origins and
values. An insightful and sympathetic view of Sparta, one that
could only be written by a masterful historian and classicist with
Rahe’s singular knowledge of political philosophy, ancient and
modern."—Victor Davis Hanson, The Hoover Institution, author of The
Other Greeks
"Paul Rahe toils boldly at the intersection of political and
diplomatic history, military history, and political theory. He has
always been one of a kind, and this highly original book will
cement his reputation as such. Who else has treated Spartan policy
with the seriousness that he shows that it deserves?
Nobody."—Clifford Orwin, Professor of Political Science, University
of Toronto, and Senior Fellow, Berlin Thucydides Center
