Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece, Revised edition

"The book is excellent. . . . Hanson's literary style is clean and lucid, a delight to read."—Walter Donlan, University of California, Irvine

"Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece presents a closely argued and thoroughly supported critique of an entire tendency in classical scholarship to think uncritically about agriculture. . . . Hanson's success in this results in an admirably short work that is full of interest, not just for classical scholars but also for military, agriculture, and environmental historians."—Colin Duncan, Queen's University, Ontario
