In bookstores, there are books that, in simple language, convey lessons from global historical figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Einstein, or Gandhi. However, there is no similar book for Thucydides. And that is a shame. There are many university-level books analyzing the Peloponnesian War, but these are aimed at the limited circle of academics and specialists. 

This unique book offers conclusions from the Peloponnesian War to ordinary readers who crave an entertaining yet well-documented book. Decision theory, social psychology, evolutionary biology, game theory, or ideas from Nobel Prize-winning psychologists, physicists, and economists come to confirm events from the civil war of Ancient Athens with Ancient Sparta. 

The immediacy of Nikos Tsiforos, the boldness of Nikos Alefantos, the wisdom of Alexandros Papadiamantis, as well as the words of great writers such as N. Kazantzakis, A. Karkavitsas, or Winston Churchill, intertwine in Thucydides' narrative to create a daring puzzle. "The knowledge that Thucydides offers with his History should belong not to the few, but to the many."
