Considered essential reading for generals, statesmen & liberally educated citizens for more than 2,000 years, 'The Peloponnesian War' is a mine of military, moral, political & philosophical wisdom. However, this classic book has long presented obstacles to the uninitiated reader. Written centuries before the rise of modern historiography, Thucydides' narrative is not continuous or linear. His authoritative chronicle of what he considered the greatest war of all time is rigorous & meticulous, yet omits the many aides to comprehension modern readers take for granted, such as brief biographies of the story's main characters, maps & other visual enhancements, & background on the military, cultural & political traditions of ancient Greece. Robert Strassler's new edition amends these omissions & not only provides a new coherence to the narrative overall but effectively reconstructs the lost cultural context that Thucydides shared w/ his original audience. Based on the venerable Richard Crawley translation, updated & revised for modern readers, 'The Landmark Thucydides' includes a vast array of superbly designed & presented maps, brief informative appendices by outstanding classical scholars on subjects of special relevance to the text, explanatory marginal notes on each page, an index of unprecedented subtlety, & numerous other useful features. Readers will find that w/this edition they can dip into the text at any point & be immediately oriented w/ regard to the geography, season, date, & stage of the conflict. In any list of great books of Western Civilization, 'The Peloponnesian War' stands near the top. This handsome, elegant & authoritative new edition will ensure that its greatness is appreciated by future generations. * "This is the best book w/ which to start the study of Thucydides & the Peloponnesian War. It presents the finest English translation. Its maps, scholarly appendices, & notes permit the beginner to understand the text & to move easily & at once to a higher level of study than has been possible up to now." - Donald Kagan, author of 'On the Origins of War' & 'Pericles of Athens' * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL for at-cost rates quoted upon request. Maps, Annotations, Appendices & Encyclopedic Index (illustratore).

List of Illustrations in front of Vol. II. Introduction in front of both volumes (Introductions contains a miscellany of information about the expeditions such as biographical sketches about John Franklin and his team).

These additional pages show the names of Champlain Society officers and members, subscribing libraries, and other Champlain Society publications. Pages are virtually pristine and intact. Covers are virtually pristine and intact. Binding is tight. Corners are sharp and not bumped. Each volume and the set are Fine. Vols. I and II are Nos. LIX and LXI, respectively, in "The Publications of the Champlain Society" series. This two-volume set contains a nearly-complete transcription of the extant journals kept by John Franklin (1786-1847), a British Royal Navy officer and explorer, during the Coppermine Expedition he led from 1819-1822 as well as the Mackenzie Expedition he led from 1825-1827. Also included are some letters by Franklin and others that relate to each expedition. The Coppermine Expedition was organized by the British Royal Navy for the purpose of surveying the northern coast of Canada and discovering the Northwest Passage. Franklin traveled eastward from Hudson Bay and the mouth of the Coppermine River and made it as far as Point Turnagain on Kent Peninsula. The Coppermine Expedition was largely considered a disaster. It was beset by poor planning and scant resources amid the ongoing rivalry between the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) and North West Company. HBC also made false promises that Franklin and his team would receive help from third parties along the way. Franklin and several of the men did reach the northern coast, but their survey was not as extensive as originally planned. Their most pressing issue at hand was survival as supplies dwindled and little or no help came. Eleven of the twenty men under Franklin's leadership perished from various causes including hypothermia, scurvy, starvation, and murder. Chief Akaitcho of the Yellowknives (Copper Dene) Nation and other Yellowknives members found Franklin and the survivors and helped nurse them back to health. Despite criticisms about his performance, Franklin was received as hero by the general public for facing the treacherous circumstances of the expedition. Fortunately, the Mackenzie Expedition had a different outcome and was largely considered a success. Franklin, learning from his first Arctic expedition, relied mostly on the Royal Navy instead of outside parties whose help during the Coppermine Expedition was either nonexistent or unreliable. HBC and North West Co. had also merged so Franklin could be better supplied. The principal reason for the Mackenzie expedition was surveying the Northwest Coast of Canada. Franklin and his team managed to map about half of the northern coastline for Britain. Their route took them between the mouths of the Mackenzie and Coppermine Rivers and on a westward trajectory along the coast to the Bering Strait. Front colophon in each volume: "Twelve Hundred and Fifty Copies of this Volume have been printed for the Champlain Society. Twelve Hundred are supplied to Members of the Society and to Subscribing Libraries and Fifty Copies are reserved for Editorial purposes. This copy is No. [blank].".
