Pericles and the Conquest of History. A Policial Biography. - SAMONS, L.J.,
A Political Biography
KORTE INHOUD
Samons, like Thucydides, asks uncomfortable questions and seeks uncompromising answers. His motive, like Thucydides', is an honest desire to reach a deeper and 'truer' understanding of what made Pericles the politician he was, what drove him to pursue the policies he did, and what consequences this had for Athens, the Greek world, and far beyond. We may not always agree with Samons but we should not refuse his challenge to rethink radically what we took for granted.' (KURT RAAFLAUB, Braun University, USA).
