This volume continues a detailed exploration of significant historical events, particularly focusing on sieges and military stratagems throughout ancient and early modern warfare. Through comparisons of various historical conflicts, the book aims to analyze patterns and lessons drawn from these occurrences. The opening of the volume sets the stage for a discussion on several key sieges, beginning with the siege of Platæa during the Peloponnesian War. Malkin outlines the context of the battle, the parties involved, and the tactics employed by both the besieged and the attackers. The narrative dives into the complexities of warfare, detailing the strategies of the besieging Spartans, the courageous defenses mounted by the Platæans, and the eventual outcome that reflects broader themes of valor, betrayal, and the harsh realities of conflict. Each chapter promises a thorough examination of the military methods and political implications of these historical events, drawing parallels that offer insight into the evolution of warfare strategy over time.
