{"product_id":"history-of-the-peloponnesian-war","title":"History of the Peloponnesian War","description":"Written four hundred years before the birth of Christ, this detailed contemporary account of the long life-and-death struggle between Athens an Sparta stands an excellent chance of fulfilling its author's ambitious claim that his writing was designed to last forever. Thucydides himself (c-460-400 B.C.) was an Athenian and achieved the rank of general in the earlier stages of the war. He applied thereafter a passion for accuracy and a contempt for myth and romance in compiling this factual record of a disastrous conflict. A translation of Thucydides' history of the wars between Athens and Sparta with introduction, notes, bibliography, and maps.","brand":"Blue Vase Bulk","offers":[{"title":"Used \/ 9780140440393-001","offer_id":43776073236541,"sku":"9780140440393-001","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/27291703482237.jpg?v=1791316933","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/history-of-the-peloponnesian-war","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
