520    "An Athenian triumph against Sparta end in disaster and 
       infamy in this naval history of Ancient Greece in the 5th 
       century B.C. Toward the end of the Peloponnesian War, 
       nearly three hundred Athenian and Spartan ships fought a 
       pivotal skirmish in the Arginusae Islands. Larger than any
       previous naval battle between warring Greeks, the Battle 
       of Arginusae was a crucial win for Athens. Its aftermath, 
       however, was a major disaster for its people. Due to 
       numerous factors, the Athenian commanders abandoned the 
       crews of twenty-five disabled ships. Thousands of soldiers
       were left clinging to wreckage and awaiting help that 
       never came. When the failure was discovered back home, the
       eight generals in charge were deposed. Two fled into exile,
       while the other six were tried and executed. In The Battle
       of Arginusae , historian Debra Hamel describes the violent
       battle and its horrible aftermath. Hamel introduces 
       readers to Athens and Sparta, the two thriving superpowers
       of the fifth century B.C. She provides a summary of the 
       events that caused the long war and discusses the tactical
       intricacies of Greek naval warfare. Recreating the 
       claustrophobic, unhygienic conditions in which the ships' 
       crews operated, Hamel unfolds the process that turned this
       naval victory into one of the most infamous chapters in 
       the city-state's history."--|cProvided by Freading.
