corcyra which began when radicals burst into the council house and killed leaders who favored democracy the strengths and weaknesses of democracy are a major theme of his history its larger story shows how the athenians tried to expand their empire too far and came to a crushing defeat here are vivid stories of land and sea battles interspersed with fascinating and disturbing debates about war and policy all of thucydides s history is here either in summary or translation in a volume short enough for a wide readership this second edition is expanded to include all the important debates and
