SPA Publishing, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A war of empires. A clash of ideologies. A timeless account of power, politics, and human ambition. The Peloponnesian War by Thucydides stands as one of the greatest works of history ever written—a vivid, unflinching chronicle of the brutal conflict between Athens and Sparta that shaped the future of the ancient world. Written by an Athenian general who lived through the war, this audiobook captures not just the military strategies and key battles of the 27-year conflict, but the deep-rooted causes, shifting alliances, and moral complexities that fueled its devastation. Thucydides offers piercing insight into the nature of war, the fragility of democracy, and the dark undercurrents of human nature that drive nations toward ruin. With detailed speeches, dramatic narratives, and philosophical reflection, The Peloponnesian War transcends its time, offering lessons that remain startlingly relevant today—about leadership, propaganda, civic decline, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. This audiobook edition brings Thucydides’ classical prose to life for modern listeners, making it essential for anyone interested in history, political theory, military strategy, or the timeless dynamics of power and conflict. Gripping, thoughtful, and enduring, The Peloponnesian War is not just a history—it’s a warning.
