It demonstrates--through case studies of recent conflicts in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as an examination of the Thucydides trap and the growing Sino-American strategic antagonism--the continuing relevance of Thucydidean thought to an analysis and planning of strategic operations. Some have even credited Thucydides with founding the discipline of international relations.\u003cbr\u003eWritten by two scholars with extensive experience in this and related fields, \u003cem\u003eThucydides on Strategy\u003c\/em\u003e situates the classical historian solidly in the modern world of war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAthanasios Platias is Professor of Strategy at the University of Piraeus, the President of the Council for International Relations, Greece, and a coordinator at the Mackinder Forum.
