This detailed new study explores the battle of Leuctra and the
tactics that ultimately led to the complete defeat of Sparta, and
freed Greece from domination by Sparta in a single afternoon. The
battle of Leuctra, fought in early July in 371 BC was one of the
most important battles ever to be fought in the ancient world. Not
only did it see the destruction of the Spartan dominance of Greece,
it also introduced several tactical innovations which are still
studied and emulated to this day. Sparta's hegemony of Greece
(which had been in effect since the Persian wars of 480/79 and
especially since the Peloponnesian War in 431-404 BC) was wiped
away in a single day of destruction. Sparta would never recover
from the losses in manpower which were suffered at Leuctra. The
importance of the battle of Leuctra cannot be underestimated. This
superbly illustrated title gives the reader a detailed
understanding of this epic clash of forces, what led to it, its
commanders, sources and the consequences it had for future
civilizations.
