Independent Criticism

"The book is excellent. . . . Hanson's literary style is clean and lucid, a delight to read."--Walter Donlan, University of California, Irvine

"Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece presents a closely argued and thoroughly supported critique of an entire tendency in classical scholarship to think uncritically about agriculture. . . . Hanson's success in this results in an admirably short work that is full of interest, not just for classical scholars but also for military, agriculture, and environmental historians."--Colin Duncan, Queen's University, Ontario
