"The focus in Paul Cartledge's book 'THE SPARTANS' is from 480 to 360 BC, from the time when Sparta, as head of the new Peloponnesian League, led the loyalist Greeks in their defence of their homeland against a massive Persian invasion, down to the time of Sparta's crisis as a society and collapse as a great Greek power three or four generations later. The book follows the story of Sparta's developing difficulties with its Peloponnesian League allies, the major disaster of a massive earthquake followed by a prolonged and potentially deadly revolt of the Helots(the serfs of Sparta), Sparta's increasing differences and then major military confrontation with Athens, and its takeover from Athens as the great power of the Aegean Greek world followed by severe and ultimately terminal overstretch."--Vendor's website.
