Matthew A. Sears Boeken

A guide to ancient battlefields of Greece covering 20 battles from Marathon in 390 BC to Actium in 31 BC

An engaging, authoritative exploration of the ways in which the ancient Spartans thought about and remembered their wars and their war dead. Matthew Sears shows that the Spartan commemoration informs contemporary acts of remembrance. Thinking about Sparta, he suggests, inspires us to reconsider our own relationship to conflict and memory.
