520    This original book looks in detail at arguably the two 
       most significant characters on either side in the middle 
       years of the great Peloponnesian War and the showdown in 
       and around Amphipolis that led to both their deaths in 422
       BC. The Spartan commander Brasidas was already a veteran 
       of many campaigns when he headed for the strategically 
       important northern theatre. Cleon was the key hawk in the 
       Athenian assembly who led his fellow citizens in a major 
       effort to counter the impact that Brasidas was having in 
       the north. The two finally clashed in battle outside the 
       Athenian colony of Amphipolis which Brasidas had by then 
       captured (the great historian Thucydides being exiled for 
       his failure to defend it). The Spartans won but both men 
       died in the fighting, their passing having far-reaching 
       consequences for the subsequent course of the war. By 
       focusing on the fatal duel between Brasidas and Cleon, and
       drawing on all available sources to supplement Thucydides'
       seminal account, Mike Roberts offers a valuable new 
       perspective on the Peloponnesian War.
