'The History of the Peloponnesian War'
Thomas Hobbes was a prominent English philosopher known for his work in political theory. His major achievement was the publication of his seminal work "Leviathan" in 1651, where he discussed the social contract theory and the necessity of a strong central authority to prevent the "war of all against all." Hobbes's ideas had a significant influence on modern political thought and the development of Western political philosophy.
It was a convenient way to succinctly summarise the course of the first year of the Peloponnesian War and its effect on Athens.
