"""... gripping narrative... full of dramatic events, battles and great figures.""--Black Country Bugle ""[S]everal campaigns and battles that are reported in enough detail to make them interesting and comprehensible to the reader.""--On Military Matters ""The book follows a simple historical narrative but is spared from being a list of dates and places by the author's easy to read style which emphasises the significance of the great men who strode across the Greek political stage during this period. Overall I enjoyed this book, it both informed and inspired, which is what a work like this should do.""-- ""Miniature Wargames"" ""This is an excellent account of a neglected period... This work is thus a valuable study of a key period in ancient Greek history.""-- ""History of War"" ""This new study corrects previous defects in coverage and the result is a very readable book that looks at the period 412 - 371 BC to give a true perspective of Sparta, addressing questions previously ignored.""-- ""Firetrench"""
